What do you feed while your hens are molting/not laying?

ok, so since my ladies are molting some and not laying i should be changing their feed? I buy our local feed mill's own that they make themselves. I have no clue on the %'s right now since the feed is kept in their coop. I know it does seem they have slowed down with eating and the other day I found Belle dead on the coop floor. No clue as to what happened besides seeing in the morning that she did not seem herself. Quiet, stayed in her nest box, wouldn't really move at all. I came home from work and she was dead.

. Very frustrated right now as to whether or not i am doing the right things for them. Molting-check, not laying-check, put a 60w bulb in-check, fresh warm water morning & night-check, feed/treats/mash-check, free oyster shell-check, clean coop-check. Am i covered???
Sometimes a chicken just get sick and dies. No way of really telling.
 
I stopped feeding Flockraiser and switched to Gamebird Feed combined with cracked corn. I found that Lay pellets decreased egg production drastically. I stopped feeding lay pellets a long time ago.
