Chicken help please!

I feed them scratch and peck organic corn free/soy free feed, usually fermented. Also sometimes scratch and peck corn free/soy free pellets.

I’ve had them on layer feed about 2 weeks, I will switch them back for now. I do soak their feed most of the time.
I am leaning towards injury at this point as well.
Thanks I will take a look at that section! I appreciate the input.

Thank you for the input! I appreciate it. I do the corn free because my son has corn allergies and we have found that when he eats food that eats corn he reacts. That’s part of why we want to raise our own food, so we know what they eat.
i do give them grit and oyster shells for calcium.
OK, then I need to back up here. Apologies! The brand/feed you are using is probably your best bet if there's a corn allergy you are avoiding.
IF you still have some of the scratch and peck starter left, then feed that.
For me, even if I have high production birds, I leave them on a higher protein (18-20%) feed until they (all) come into lay. I know a lot of folks do start feeding layer feed at around 16 weeks. Personal preference on my part there.
BUT...if the feed you have is the loose type and not pellets, then I would definitely soak or ferment it, this helps to encourage the birds to eat all of it instead of picking through and eating something like all the peas:D

OS and grit given free choice like you are doing.

For those girls, I would still give them the B-Complex daily to see if that helps.
 
Many people who have fed scratch and peck feeds report that chickens will pick out the best parts first, and leaving some of the important nutrients. I tried some once, briefly, and my chickens were not eating most of the layer feed. Feeding a layer or all flock feed that is all the same, where they cannot pick out the best parts is best. This could be a riboflavin (B2) deficiency, so make sure the vitamins you are giving have riboflavin on the label. Some chicken vitamins do not. Hopefully, this is not Mareks. Curled toe paralysis can be a sign, unfortunately. Usually B2 riboflavin deficiency affects both feet.
 
A lot of good ideas posted. How high is the roost? About four feet off of the ground is about right. The repetitive jarring to the joints when dismounting the evening roost can cause bumblefoot & sore or damaged feet & legs and the problem becomes more pronounced as the birds gain weight. When coming off of the roost, what is your flock landing on?
