Hello @Ivan Kwagala,

Check out this video it will help you-

To summarize:
1. Ensure they have the proper spacing
2. Ensure they have the proper nutrients in their feed and diet
3. Keep them busy and not sitting idle; hang greens & other vegetables for your birds or let them outside in a semi-free range area.

Also, make sure your birds are vaccinated properly and Hygiene is kept at high standards in your coop to prevent from sickness. The best medicine is prevention!

We also have an online poultry course here that should really help you. CHECK IT OUT HERE.

your birds lack calcium in their feed. you should consider having the feed analized for nutritive value at Kalro Naivasha. the cost is Ksh.1000 while in kenya. otherwise give D.C.P suppliment in addition to hanging greens and debeaking.
