anna,

When was the last time you wormed them?
If you are feeding a lot of the "mixed corn" and scraps that can all so do it.
I feed about 10 cups scratch grain per 30 birds per day along with there regular feed.
Some things that you might try giving as treats are the striped sunflower seeds (higher in protein than Black Oiled Sunflower Seeds)
Wheat, and Barley are good all round treats..
