Will stress and/or high temperatures cause moulting?

Hey folks, sorry to bug you again but I'm worried about my 2 wellsummers. They're right around 1 year old and going bald. One also seems to have lost her tail feathers and they haven't laid an egg in around 3or 4 days. I had noticed the balding and lower egg production a few days earlier and then we had several high-stress, high-heat days as we evacuated not once but twice in the path of the Waldo Canyon fire. So, if they're molting, do I need to do anything extra for them? If it's too early for a molt, any other ideas?
