They're not eating any of the feed I buy now

This is their preferred feed (Kalmbach Chickhouse Reserve), straight from the bag. The fermented feed looks a lot like this, but moist 🤪:

That is my entire flocks favorite… (ducks, turkeys, chickens) I do have to supplement a bit for the turkey they need higher protein. But my flock LOVES that feed never a mess on the ground of spilled food they clean it all up

That’s amazing! Chick feed as an all-flock!

What protein do you supplement with? When I was fermenting, I added split green peas (1# cheap house brand bag), but I’d like to mix that up a bit.
 
Update!
Last night when I went to check on the flock before bed, I ended up having to bring our Serama hen inside as she was very lethargic. Her crop was empty and even when I placed food and water in the carrier I currently have her in, she only drank the water and ignored the food. I got her to drink some nutri-drench and today she's still only drinking the water
After I brought the hen inside, I checked everyone else and their crops were empty too. They're still empty today
They've been locked up with only feed and water since I first posted and I've only had to refill the water. The feed is still untouched after days of them being locked up
 
Offer them a little real food - e.g. tinned sardines, milk-soaked bread, peeled banana, whatever until you can think of nothing else to give them. If they still don't eat, then they are really sick and their digestive systems have shut down to focus all energy on their immune systems.
