she is being picked on by the other chooks but now has barely any feathers and isn't eating because the other chooks aren't letting her she has just come off the brood and hasn't been terribly healthy since.

Need some more info... How old, what kind, what type of feed, what else is making her not healthy after going broody?

Seperate her immediately. Make her some wet mash(water and chick feed) and plenty of fresh water. I would also give her some vitamins--I use Poly-visol drops(walmart in infant section). I also give pedialyte for weak chicks or chickens. Chicks /chickens can be cruel if on is being picked on and will all do it. Also, check her for mites. I use Sevin dust or Adam's flea and tick spray.

Some extra protein or a higher protein feed for a while will help her grow the feathers back. She may not survive if you don't separate her and give her her own food and water. She probably needs to be wormed if you don't have a regular worming program, but I'd wait til she is a little healthier.
