As with commercial feeds, these are what we use.: free range chicken feeds, pullet developer pellets, and cracked corn

Cracked corn should be considered a treat. It is a low protein, high fat food. It is fine to use as a finisher to fatten the poultry up prior to processing but as a regular feed can cause all kinds of fatty organ problems.

What feed did you give them as young keets? It sounds like maybe your feeds are able to grow them for awhile but not finish them? Did they free range at all?

Check the feed for mold. I've come across a couple of bags with mold in them now. May not have noticed but I transfer into 5 gallon containers with air tight lids. I've never looked to see if there's a poultry food recall advisor site- I get updates on dogfood all the time.
But- if r2elk thinks it sounds like coccidiosis, I think I'd go ahead and treat with Corid.
I know it's rough -not knowing what happened can tear you up. In all honesty, knowing doesn't make it much better unless it's something you can change, & even then, it still stings.

Mulberry leaves can be slightly toxic to humans causing stomach issues. I don't see anything about Moringa. But there's plenty in our flowerbeds that can be poisonous to them while free ranging.
