Hiya, and welcome to BYC!!

Nutra Drench is another one that's fast-acting and pretty close. Either order from @Jenbirdee's link as actually, I had to do that too as our TSC didn't have it last I was there. Otherwise, try find a well-rounded multivitamin for poultry.

When you get time, in your account details is a place to put your location. That helps us know where you are when we're making suggestions.

Hi everyone my name is Maxine I live in England. We’ve had chickens for about 8 years and we currently have 16. They free range during the day on about 1/4 acre.
1 buff Orpington, 1 ex commercial rescue, 1 frizzle Cochin, 3 silkies, 2 pekins, 1 frizzle Pekin, 2 polish, 4 frizzle polish and 1that is a frizzle Pekin polish cross.
The problem is that Snowy our little white frizzle Pekin has started crowing so I guess we’ve been wrongly sold a rooster and has started walking backwards.
I googled it and read it could be a vitamin E and selenium deficiency. We are giving him vitamin supplements plus tuna, sunflower seed and egg. Does this ever get better? Has anyone had experience of this? I’m worried he won’t get enough to eat as he goes to the food then starts walking backwards. He’s not exhibiting any rooster behaviour either, he seems to be at the bottom of the pecking order.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, welcome to BYC! It's nice to meet you.
Have fun!
I hope you can get help for your roo, it's terrible to see one like that.

Welcome. Poly-vi-sol without iron is another good alternative. The general guidelines seems to be no more than 0.5ml/cc spread out throughout the day for chicks. This should be about 10 drops from a dropper. For adult chickens, you can give them a little more, but I’d still stick to 0.5ml/cc as that should be more than enough.
