Has anyone used "Poultry Nutri-Drench?"

[old biddy]

I am trying to nurse a chick back to good health. It is now eating and drinking on its own which is good. Yesterday, my daughter brought me a bottle of Poultry Nutri-Drench - the Nutritional Advantage. Has anyone used this supplement for their chicks?

I use it a lot. Both to support weak birds, young chicks and as a weekly supplement during stressful times.

I add it to day old Chicks water for 10 days, following directions. GC
ETA; I just saw that I'm on the Peafowl thread. I don't have Peafowl

I use it on all fowl, though I give it orally.

I bought it to give to one of my girl who after being broody decided to molt. It gives her a boost to regrow her new feathers and put so weight back on.

How often do you give it? Regularly or just on specific occasions, ie., newly hatched, recovering from illness or injury, etc.

If I have a freshly hatched one that isn't doing well I will give a drop every 4-6 hours, and sometimes I will give it orally to adults if I think they need a boost.

Thanks for the info...I think I will give it to my little chick - I think it is about 4 weeks old. Should I give it just a drop orally or add several drops in its little water container ( about 2 ounces of water)?

I don't like putting it in their drinking water because some don't like the taste of it. How much does the chick weigh?

The chick weighs 5.3 ounces
