Feeding

If you feed more pellets than scratch, that would be better for your chickens. There is very little nutrition, especially protein, in scratch grain. It's mostly empty carbs like ice cream is to us. We may love it, but we know we need real food to be healthy. Same with your chickens. They love the scratch but pellets are the real food.
I ferment the Purina Flock Raiser I feed my flock. They get a little over half a cup of fermented feed per day per chicken and I feed them twice a day.

Mine get too much goodie snacks for sure. Scratch is like chicken crack. Lol. Most will say treats shouldn't be more than 10 percent of their diet. I feed mine pellet feed and they have 24/7 access and a large grassed yard to roam.

It has like protein and mineral powder in it it came like that not sure if it makes much of a difference because I've just got poultry 10 months ago
For clarification, are you talking about actual scratch or Scratch & Peck (name of the brand) feed, i.e. https://www.scratchandpeck.com/product-category/poultry-feed/ ? One is a treat and the other is a whole grain feed.
Assuming the latter, I feed about 1/3-1/2 cup of fermented feed per bird in the morning, and they have dry pellets available all day. I have large breeds and not giants though.
Hard to help when your original post is deleted @My hen house ?
