I'm a sucker for the underdogs, Diana.

I bet she'll be the family favorite (just don't tell the other girls).

One last question... how long do I continue with the Poly-vi-sol vitamins? She is doing 300% better, eating on her own, drinking on her own, and fighting the other, considerably larger, chicks for the egg yolk.

She HATES the vitamins... and I was hoping I wouldn't need to continue to give them to her.

Thanks again to everyone for your help.

Diana

That's a judgement call. I would wait until she seems to be growing and progressing normally. After stopping, if she relapses, start the vitamins again. JMHO.

I usually say a week. If she's that much better, and because of the probably cause of this being not something long-term nutritional, I'd think you can stop now. Just watch her - if she starts again, you know what to do.
