One is molting and the others are picking on her!

Help! One of my chickens just went through a huge molting, and 2 of the other 4 are pecking at her and she is freaked out and
won't come out of the coop all day. She is weak and sad. They sleep together at night but then they resume pecking her in the morning, and she runs back inside. What can I do?

Oh wow, that's sad. When my girls molt, they tend to stay by themselves a lot but I've never seen the others pick on them. Any way you can separate the 2 mean girls for a while? The molt is hard on a chicken and to be harassed on top of it must really be awful.
Good luck.
