Those guys are currently being treated for Coccidiosis again. They caught a different strain. They were treated once in the brooder.

My Buff Orpington chick is very skinny for some reason, & her skin on her face is sunken in abit. She's eating 20% flock Raiser, along with her siblings/half siblings, & they don't have that issue.
Maybe up her protein intake abit maybe?

That food should be fine

Buff Orpingtons tend to be skinnier than some other kinds of chickens, so it might be natural for her?

Or maybe she isn't eating enough? Sometimes one chicken will get chased away from the feeder or waterer (and if they don't drink, they will not eat either.)

You can check whether she is eating well by feeling her crop a few times each day. It should generally have food in it, be quite full in the evening, and empty before she starts eating in the morning. (If the chicks have a light all night, then they will eat during the night too, and the crop will never be completely empty. That is fine too.)
