Welcome to BYC.
Can you post pictures of your pullets?
Are they free range or kept in a run?
What
Ok. I got them as chicks. They all did exceptional well. Chick starter. Then at 3 months started them on grain. And scratch. Vaccinated. As chicks. They started eating feathers verouisly. I lost one. Was skin and bones. So I got flock raiser and better grit. Then the biggest one did the same thing. Was afraid maybe the crop was impacted with feathers. Did not cut open to see. Now a other. This one started with diarrhea. Then sour crop. Drinking a lot of water. Not eating much be coming legarthic. Vinegar and soft goat cheese. Crop fine but empty. Now just getti g weaker and thinner. Other two fine. Roosters in next pen fine.Offer free choice feed if they are malnourished.
