How much vitamin E, B vitamins and Selenium should a 10 day old chick be getting? Help Please!

The vitamin E human gel capsule? This works on a 10 day old? What about selenium do i get a gel form pill of that and give that to them as well? Or something else? My duckling looks like it has a form of wry neck and I’m trying to correct it as quickly as possible there currently youngest is 8 oldest is 10 days old

Yes, human Vitamin E (400IU).
Give some egg for the uptake of E. Egg has sufficient Selenium.

Ensure your ducklings are getting Niacin.

Get the vitamin E gel caps 400iu. Break one open and give her the entire contents each day. That's one gel cap per day. That's the dosage for a baby chick or an adult chicken. You can put it into her food or into a soft boiled egg. But get the entire dose into her each day. If this is due to a vitamin E deficiency, you will see rapid results. If this is a genetic nervous system defect, then you'll know if there is no improvement.

I believe if the feed is formulated for Ducks, then it should have sufficient Niacin.
You may want to ask on the Ducks forum just to be sure what you are feeding is adequate.
