[Judykaymayes]

We changed feed recently within two weeks and now we are having chickens come down sick daily ,and they aren’t putting enough weight on they are coming a year in the Spring .Started three days ago hand feeding her she is much better , one two days ago passed stay during the night,two this morning and I was thinking coccodiosis but not I’m think the feed is of poor quality .any suggestions are appreciated

What feed are you feeding? Is it pellet, crumble, whole grain form? What % protein is it? What extras are you feeding?

Grounded into a finer Powder

Are you wetting it down into a mash or just feeding the dry powder?

Feed it dry

Feed it dry

That is why your chickens are having issues. It absolutely must be wet into a mash otherwise they are not consuming the nutrients.
