    A BWACK after dark???

    VITAMIN B 12 DROPS FOR A BROODY HEN

    I was just wondering if it would be beneficial to give my now 3 week broody hen vitamin B 12 drops? I do make her come out several times a day to make sure she is eating/drinking and pooping but thought it might be an added boost for her. Any thoughts??
