Is this a normal molt? What could be causing this? what do I do?

The feathers won't come back until she molts. I have a chicken that lost all her back feathers and shoulder feathers because of an aggressive rooster. He's gone now. She is starting to molt and her feathers are just now coming in. Although, she is sick and we don't know why. She is doing much better. Feeding lots of potien. She gets a scrambled egg once or twice a day depending on the egg size. My husband also made a shake for her with chick starter, yogurt, water, and an egg. Puts it in a blender and dinner is ready. She seems to love it. That and vitimans. Poly Vi Sol works wonders. We had also given her anitbiotics in the water a few times and some Wazine last week. At least she stands and eats now. Was feeding her with an eye dropper.

So, if your bird is starting to molt feed her some scrambled eggs or hardboiled eggs for extra protein. Good luck.
