Continue feeding with Layer MASH or whatever you have been feeding them if they are otherwise healthy. Molt is natural and will take up to three months.

Is the moult in a hen a sign that egg production is slowing?

No not really, the molt time for a hen will in fact slow egg production during the time it happens as the hen will need all its nutrients to produce new feathers. Egg production will pick back up at the end of the molting period when the hen can afford to put more of its nutrients back into eggs. Hens can actually molt just after they are one year old and they still have many months of egg productive life left in them.
