Need help chicken expert got rooster and hen need help

Pics
The coop is medium size and no windows will put some I live usa argyle ny washtion county I dont want to take pic of coop cuz then I will say so small and stuff
 
I use rubber black dish for water I water them allot they spill it I use feeder and tray feed twice a day. And I feed them veggies they are all different ages and breeds.
 
For fence I.use dog fening use to be goats fence its hard meatal so no predter get in side I had chickens for years use to feed them just scratch feed never had health problems in till now. When I switch feed. Going back just scratch feed and oyster shells. I know allot about chickens just not illnes. Dont know how to build windows been asking for help everyone is busy.
 
General suggestions.

1. Layer feed is full of calcium in amounts unsafe for roosters. Get him off that completely. Get a chick grower food not starter. Oyster shell on the side for hens, NEVER mixed into their food.

2. Get them a proper water dispenser they can't spill. Or find a way they can't spill that bowl. Not having water all the time can contribute to gout.

3. No salty human food ever. This can also contribute to gout.

4. They should have access to their food all day. Being hungry causes problems.

5. Scratch feed alone will cause other problems. You know that.

So grower all day and fix the water.

I dont know what water feed to use tryied hainging the water metal kind kempt slinding the one they have that has legs on water thing is too small I like useing black dish dont freeze and like I said had chickens for years just fed them scratch feed never had promblems witch just scratch feed. I will try chick feed. Is chick feed with medicade in it good for chicks who hasent had shots? When they hatch? Or just use grower feed or starter feed?
