No tails and some bald backs and other spots.

I just wasn’t sure because of high mercury in tuna. Is that an issue?

That's a good point. I would give it as a regular treat but yeah, not too often since the mercury. Then maybe every other week. I would feed it when they start molting as that is the major time of the year they need extra protein. The rest it isn't as crucial.

I have one camera inside the coop and two in the run. They have a feed from Hogs farm and feed. I also feed them treats of black oil sunflower seeds, black soldier fly larvae, and dried mealworms. They also get scraps about once a week. View attachment 4182973

Can you get chick starter? They may have nutrition deficiency? Is there and vitamin fines in the feed?

 

[Hannah J]

I guess I could get some chick starter, what do you mean by vitamin fines?

 

[Hannah J]

And how much chick starter would I mix in their feed

Replace it completely if the feed is only a few ingredients.
Is there a complete nutrition panel on what your feeding now?

I don’t think they give a nutrition panel sadly.

 

[Hannah J]

How long do I need to replace it for because again I’m still a little worried about the price

How about a full ingredient list? If what you're feeding now is really only 4 ingredients, it's not worth whatever you're paying. It will take considerable adjustment (more ingredients added) to make it a decent feed.

You can stop the sunflower seeds and meal worm to save some money, they aren't remotely necessary

True, another reason I find it odd is because I switched the feed I would say about 6-8 months after the feather loss happened so I don’t know if that would change anything. Before I was using layer feed from Wilco, purina layena crumbles premium poultry feed

It does look more like plucking to me too.
