    pullet thin and won't stand

    I would try Rooster Booster by Poultry Cell.. it’s at TSC and on Amazon.. if it’s a vitamin B deficiency their legs can get wonky.. you can’t over treat they will only absorb what they need.. vitamin B isn’t in Nutridrench or the electrolytes. Good Luch with her ❤️

    My chicken gardening project
