How to get her back to normal?

WHAT treats? Treats can range from corn to grapes to canned mackerel. Three things that are completely different in nutrient content.
What percentage of total intake are the treats?
I ask again, what is the protein percentage of their chicken feed and how much of the total intake does it make up?
Treats like grapes, yogurt, bread, and cheese.
 
Sorry :hmm 17% protein in the grain, and if you mean how much do I give them treats in comparison to the food, I'm not totally sure. I give them about 1 small bowl of greek yogurt or other treats a day. Probably around 40% of their food intake is grain, they mostly live off of grasshoppers, grass, and other treats.
 
Are you conflating the terms feed and grain?
Grain is the seeds of plants in the grass family. Feed is formulated from many ingredients to meet the dietary requirements of the animal for which it is intended.
I'm assuming you mean the feed is 17% protein because no grain has that much protein.
Feed contains grain but also other ingredients including soybean meal and synthetic lysine/methionine which bring up the crude protein percentage to acceptable levels plus a lot of vitamins, minerals and fats that are missing from grain.
