administering poly vi sol ?

[SilkieCanada]

Do you guys put it into their water? Or direct to beak?

This is for me 3 week old silkie.

i put a couple drops on the beak, they will instinctively drink it- what is the situation? if it is still drinking water, you could add it to the water-

well Im hoping its nutrient related. then the poly will fix it. otherwise I think its an ear infection, Im not leaning towards the wryneck. It really doesnt look like it to me. Does it look like it to you?

Put about 2 drops directly on the beak (not near the nostrils). You can do this twice a day.

You should switch that chick to non medicated chick starter until she is off the vitamins to maximize absorption.

here is a thread with lots of info- the polyvisol is always my first thought with silkies- since they are prone to vitamin deficiencies- i haven't viewed the video- cause of my internet connection-
