5) they love worms more than laying feed and scratch
We now get 1/2eggs a day, but they took a few weeks to settle in and our dog didn't help.
Try hanging the food and waterer from the ceiling so it's a few inches off the ground- they won't be able to kick bedding and such into the feeders.

Have you tried mealworms? Maybe they need more protein and oystershell?
