What do i feed my mixed age flock?

[Wordstoyourface]

Hi! I have around 30 chickiens,chickens, from 12 weeks to 25 weeks. I've noticed my younger ones are very thin. Everyone is active and eating. They all get along,I have cameras and check in periodically throughout the day while I'm at work. My layers are laying fine. I have 1 roo,and potentially 2 or 3 very young roos that have yet to crow. I'm currently feeding flock raiser with daily treats of table scraps and scratch and cracked corn,egg shells also. But my small ones,I can feel their breast bone protruding. There's enough feeders for everyone to eat without fighting. Is there something else I should be feeding them? I also have mixed breeds from silkies to brahma. Polish,sexlinks,orps,etc. I figured flock raiser was my best bet.

Can you have some poop tested to see if they have worms or coccidiosis?

That ^^^ A good look at the poop is the first place to start.

Then, cut back on the corn and the scratch. New birds REALLY need the extra nutrition in the flock raiser, while it is less critical to adult birds with their formative months already passed.

I have to call around and see if I can find a vet to check. I HAVE wormed them and treated for coccidiosis though. The whole flock at once about a week after I integrated the small ones

Do you have enough feeders that the entire flock can eat at once?

Are you free-feeding so that every bird can eat on it's own schedule and not have to compete with flockmates?

Are the older birds guarding feeders and/or harassing the younger ones?

I have 2 big feeders and I also throw food in daily. I haven't seen them guarding the food from the small ones. And when I throw food in and the rooster calls everyone over he let's them eat too
