I'd stop all treats and feed only the complete balanced feed if I were you.
It really is better for their health.

That sounds like a plan to me. As far as eggs, that's really just a treat too, right? Lastly, is it ok to continue topping everyone off right before bed with mash that consist of their regular complete and balanced feed, moistened with warm water?

Yes eggs are considered a treat.
Anything that you offer them besides the complete balanced feed, whether it be dry or moistened with warm water, is a treat.

No it won't hurt to moisten the feed at night.

Thank you so much for your help. I wish there was a way for me to express my gratitude to all of you that are always willing to help and never expect anything in return. There are some incredibly special folks here. I appreciate you and everyone that has helped me or just taken the time out of their day to read and reply to any of my long winded posts. I am so grateful

I thought about getting a small bag of meat bird crumble just to make her mash. I wonder if that would help her at least put on a little bit of healthy weight? I don't want to end up with an unhealthy bird, but I'd feel so much better if she either gained a little bit of weight or grew a little bit.

I believe it is the same percentage as the all flock, I accidentally bought a bag. My go to gal at the feed store said it's fine temporarily through let's say winter but not advised to keep them on or long term.

Can you all see my signature below?
I've made a Google with every possible feed that I could find, that sold in the United States.
You should check it out. You can see side by side the differences in protein, calcium, some of the important percentages.... Etc.
