It's been windy here too in the foothills, and my coop is open air so my birds have been getting blasted. I'm surprised my Boy was able to hop on and connect with his Girls while fighting the wind, but apparently he's very determined and got the job done regardless, lol.
All my Peas are on a main diet of 24% protein Game Bird pellets with a handful of scratch grains and sweet feed/wet cob mixed in, and then they have free choice to 2nd or 3rd cutting alfalfa hay and as much kale, weeds and green grasses that I can pull/pick for them... but in Feb some time after I wormed them I also started giving them a feed pan full of Fermented Feed 3-4 times a week (which consists mostly of the 24% protein Game Bird pellets, some sweet feed/wet cob and scratch grains and a bunch of alfalfa pellets... and that all ferments at least 48 hrs before I feed it) and I also add a handful of Ultra Kibble and or catfish diet, a cup or so of plain greek yogurt and usually 10-12 smashed up boiled eggs (shell and all) mixed into the FF right before I feed it to them. Occasionally when I process a Turkey they will also get all of the (raw) organ meats diced up and added in too. They always gobble it all down.
Oh and they also have free choice to oystershell and pigeon grit which has added minerals in it (plus there's a little oyster shell in it too).
