I personally free feed the crumble (available 24/7) and offer the veggie mix once a day usually in the morning. Different birds will eat different quantities so I would start with about half a teaspoon per bird then adjust as needed so they finish it all within an hour or two. Mealworms or egg...

Sad to hear. Some birds simply have an overly aggressive personality. I've never had a bird that aggressive but I've heard of it happening to other people
The one with the orange on the chest is the male. A speckled chest is always a female although some females may have orange as well. I've noticed females with orange tend to carry a dominant brown gene
