My one girl was born in March 2019 appears to be moulting. It’s February in Winnipeg and very cold. Does this look like a moulting hen? I’m worried she might be sick. She’s eating fine and still laying.

If she's laying, she's not molting. Her comb and wattles look a little pale to me - have you checked her for lice/mites/worms? Are any of the other girls plucking her?
If she is eating ok try her with a bowl of 'super gruel'.
Mix some poultry cell or similar in a half gallon of water (follow the instructions on the bottle), some 20% feed and mix into an oatmeal consistency.
The poultry cell will help to boost her up a bit, keep us posted please :)
 
The roosters feather look light coloured too like they are coming out.. no sign of bugs on them but they are pecking at one another. Made a gruel as you suggested and got some stop pick to spray on them. Thanks for the reply
