Serious ? Concerning my Chicken's

[1rooroo4u]

And although they are different breeds, they are all under weight? You say you have three feeders. Are they out of eyeshot of each other? What I mean is, if a chicken is eating at one feeder, can it see the other two feeders? Your best bet is to arrange the feeders so they are not visible to each other. That way if the older birds csn't see the young ones eating, they can't chase them away and keep them from eating. Which it sounds like that is what's happening.

Yes, they are all underweight...

Each feeder has it's own "private" section of the yard...

The older birds chased the new birds away from the feeders a couple of months ago, right after they were put in the same coop, but they do not do that anymore.

There may be from 1-3 birds that eat at the same time, but they never all flock to the feeders at the same time.

Photos of the birds?

You feed high protein feed- what exactly is it? Brand and name?

I'll try to remember to take a picture or two of my birds in the morning when I let them out of their house.

The feed is Purina, but I couldn't tell you exactly what everything on the package says. If I'm not mistaken though, it's 18% protein.
