How long does a Moult last? PICS ADDED

Looks like she is the Roosters favorite, my girl was totally red and stripped of her back feathers but the grew back in about two weeks and the " saddle" didn't bother her at all.
 
Seems most of my hens are molting at the moment. One is extremely bad! She stopped laying for over a month. I have been giving them sea kelp , plain Greek yogurt, SOS , safflower, oyster shells and a mix of starter, grower and layer food. Plus all the yummy fruits and veggies in the evening. Along with free ranging. Is there anything else I can feed them to speed up process ? Thank you in advance!

I missed your message. I'm not very crafty, I'll have to look online. We did get rid of our rooster a week ago. They all seem calmer and much sweeter ! I am raising about 30 chicks and going to pick the nicest cockerel out of the bunch. So that will give them quite a long break.
 
Next month, July, my hens will be 2. Last year not all molted. The reds more so than the buffs.
