Brahma barely walking, help needed

Just get the human vitamin E 400iu. The tiny caps are simple to shove into the beak.

Do you think that I could give her some Poultry Cell? Seeing as there are all of these vitamin deficiencies, do you think it would help and do you recommend it?

Poultry Cell is good for chicks, but it doesn't have the concentration of vitamins to be effective in treating a deficiency. When a deficiency of a certain vitamin is suspected, giving a high dose of that vitamin for a short period is how we try to correct the deficiency.

When giving the vitamin E capsule, hold the chick and pry open the beak and slip the capsule into the beak, then close the beak so the chick swallows. The chick will not choke because anything in its mouth slides right down the esophagus and into its crop.

Sounds good.
