I uploaded video to YouTube & pasted above - hope it worked!
Yes, I grounded up my B Complex yesterday & sprinkled into her crumble. I think I’ll try a wet mash & do it again right now want to be sure she gets adequate dose.
Please let me know if you’re able to view the video. Curled toes is...
- 4-wk old chick.
- Cross breed, potentially a Buff Orpington/Buff Brahma.
- I raised the hens who laid the eggs.
- Hatched 32 perfectly healthy chicks using an incubator.
