Any idea what they could have had when sleeping the chicken jumps to a stick and roosts there and in the morning she’s laying down somewhere random with both eyes open. When I brought her in she saw something in the floor and ate it done know what it was though probably only thing I have seen her eat. But i hand feed her and give her vitamins and electrolytes. But really don’t get why she doesn’t eatGive the rooster the layer feed if that's what you have, it should be fine. Many people feed their roosters layer feed.
Do they still have canker or yeast infection inside their beaks?
Provide your birds with grit (crushed granite) so they can process their foods properly.
You treat for mites/lice, did they have parasites on them heavily? What did you treat them with.
Please look inside their beaks for lesions. Make sure their crops are emptying.
Feed ALL your birds a nutritionally complete feed, even if that means feeding the rooster layer feed.
I would still offer some white cooked rice with buttermilk to the rooster in addition to him eating the layer feed.
