In that case, it could be nutritional/vitamin deficiency. Try some poultry vitamins.

Where did your birds come from?
Did you get them all at the same time?

This could be the problem.
The scraps and scratch feed is not a complete or balanced diet.

You can feed them the chick starter feed until they get closer to egg laying age and then switch them to a layer type feed but I highly recommend throwing away the scratch and stopping the scraps for good.

Your problem is more likely nutrition related.

I would definitely think nutritional. Do you have any nutradrench or poultry cell? 0.50 mg morning and night directly on the beaknor on a treat, see if it helps. I'd also send a fecal to the link I posted.
