Welcome to BYC.
Can you post pictures of your pullets?
Are they free range or kept in a run?
What are their poops like?
What exactly are you feeding them?
How long have you had them?
Have you gotten weights on any of them?
Do they have any other symptoms?

Offer free choice feed if they are malnourished.

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.

I lost one today, for a few days she was being distant, doesn’t walk around, doesn’t drink or eat, stand in one corner all day and sleep. We have no idea what to do or what was wrong with her and she finally died this morning. Also 5 months old. I wish there was something we can give our chickens to prevent this happen as we don’t want to lose any more.
