Wondering about some things,
What type of lighting.
What are they eating?
Has the vet done a fecal test? look for hook worms?
has a blood panel been done on one?
has one been tested for a yeast impalance?

I would have a fecal & full blood panel done on one.
It will give a clue to what is going on.

In short term I would get some red palm oil
-human food grade- & put 1 drop on a chex or other small
item so you know they eat it 2x a DAY
Red palm oil has a lot of Vit. A, good for feathers & skin
See a different vet if you have to
The more info you can give, the better the info that can be
given
