I'm not convinced it's the feed.
I'm wondering if the heavy treats from before did the damage (fat) and if it's just stuck around.

Could be. I threw many pounds of forage seed last year. Plus, like you mentioned before, I was quick to give eggs. Did not realize how fatty they were. Here’s the current feed:I'm not convinced it's the feed.

Also, Bridge doesn’t lay anymore and now Ruby is on hormones. I would like to stick with an all flock if I can find one I like.Whew, I feel like 22% protein is a lot. Is there a reason you aren’t feeding layer feed still (16% protein)?
The all flock feed has much less calcium than layer.
I would be very careful rationing feed. I’ve had several people tell me you create a competition problem with that and the lower ranked hens lose out.
ETA: I can see now in post #32 you mentioned you don’t have them on layer since it’s winter.
That’s so sweet; thank you! Ruby was active tonight after work. Huge and a bit slow, but active and seemed happy.I just wanted to offer some support. I am rooting for your beautiful girl. Both of you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Wishing you both the very best
