Hello Saaniya. Here they sell vitamins for children in our grocery stores, and pharmacies. They have ones with, and without iron. Like Flintstones vitamins. They are easily available, and not expensive. Do they have something similar over there? If it's just one rooster, crushing 1/4 tablet, and sprinkling it on whatever food it's being given, on a daily basis, should help quite a bit. I've recommended this for several people around here that were feeding a mostly grain diet, and their birds developed a deficiency.
Ok, I understand they don't have a nutritionally balanced, commercial feed you can buy there. They didn't always have it here either. Sprinkling yeast, like for baking bread, over their food is another good source of vitamins. Chickens are not exclusively carnivores, but tend to be omnivores. Instead of just eating grains, some of those grains can be planted in a pan with dirt, watered, and offered to the chickens when they sprout. They love the sprouts, and sprouted grains tend to have a much higher nutritional value.
Do they sell bait for fishing there? Here we can get worms, and crickets as fishing bait, and it's not overpriced. Another easy source of good protein is mealworms. They are very easy to raise. They don't take a lot of upkeep time, and they don't take a lot of space. IF no one raises them there, it might benefit someone with chickens to do so, and it might turn into a nice little small business venture for them too.
I don't mean to sound ignorant, but confess that I am, since I don't know what is actually available there, however, chickens have been found all over the world, so even though there might be differences, there still have to be sources of foods that can be used to produce healthy chickens. For chicks, and growing birds, a little yeast can be dusted on their foods to help balance the diet. Almost all countries have the ability to bake bread, and yeast is available in one form or another. Even starter for bread, with natural yeast, can be dried, crushed into almost powder, and sprinkled in their food. Cooked beans, rice, dry cracked corn, etc. are all fine, when combined with a protein source, and balanced out some, then a bit of yeast, or a vitamin type supplement added to fill in the nutritional gaps.

Now, I understand better. She can get things, and do better, but will not. I know things are different in every country, and can be different in different areas of the same country. The way she made it sound is that nothing was available to her. I was trying to figure a way for her to provide better, with limited resources, and limited money. Thank you for being so kind, and providing better information to help me understand more fully the situation.
