Could you post pictures?

Also what are you feeding them? How long have you had them? How well are they laying?

 

[roostercruiser]

How long have you been feeding that?

You need to be feeding them grower mash.

 

[Sonoran Silkies]

Nix the scratch. THe majority of their diet should be starter/grower until they start laying.

Yes please grower mash and few to no treats...They need to grow!

Hope this was helpful and have a blessed day!
