Chicken is not looking good

Hello,

I am hoping I am posting at the correct site but anyway-- We have 11 chickens and they have been healthy. Recently I went out to the coop and this one chicken looked like it had been picked on by the other chickens. Feathers were everywhere. She looks horrible. There is not blood or broken bones but she does look thin, most of the feathers are broken off or look really loose. This morning I noticed that at times she is walking close to the ground and walking criss cross. Meaning when she walked her feet are crossing over each other so she is not walking straight. I have isolated her away from the others. I am wondering if they were keeping her from eating. I brought bread out and she was so hungry and was right in there with the others trying to get some bread. While I have her isolated is there some extra nutrients I can give her to help her get better before this cold weather sets in? I am so worried for her. Any help is appreciated!!
