If she is indeed molting you can try upping her protein in the feed you feed her and also adding scrambled eggs and other high protein items so her feathers come in more. You can also add vitamin/mineral supplements to her feed daily. Are you sure the others are not picking on her or pulling out her feathers? I'd make sure that she's not being picked on first of all and then try the added protein route.
