try some turkey/game bird starter (non-medicated) I say this because it sounds like a vitamin deficiency to me and turkey/game bird starter has more protien and stuff in it than regular chick starter.

Make sure that they have a diet with enough calcium and vitamin D (or they can get rickets with bendy bones).
Could you post pics.?

Get some Poly-vi-sol infant vitamin drops WITHOUT iron. They should work wonders for your baby, hopefully.
