Is This Human B Complex Supplement Okay for Chickens?

[Barnette]

Is this b complex okay to give my chicken who seems to have a riboflavin deficiency? I'll weigh her tomorrow but she's about 4lbs, I'll post again about the specific dosage once I get confirmation it's okay to give you her at all.

(Symptoms: stiff walking, toes aren't curling, fatigue, hunched back, limited activity) (I've been giving her egg yolk a once or twice a week and nutridrench a few times but no difference)

I am not an expert but I always give my chickens human b complex that contains b12. it looks ok to me. I give 1 pill per day for at least 7-10 days.

Nutri-Drench does not contain any B2(Riboflavin), just so you know, so it isn't going to help with a Riboflavin Deficiency.


But yes, you can give the vitamin in the photo to your chicken. Standard would be to give 1/4 tablet once daily for a few weeks.



How old is the bird?
When was the last egg if she's laying?

If she's not laid an egg and should have, then it would be a very good idea to also give 300mg Calcium Citrate+D3 once daily for a week to see if she can expel an egg or lash material.

More info along with photos would be helpful. Thanks.

Yes. That is safe for chickens.

Gotcha thanks!

She's between 3 and 5, she's adopted so I don't know. And this summer, but she's laid very infrequently since a severe prolapse last summer.

If she's not laid an egg and should have, then it would be a very good idea to also give 300mg Calcium Citrate+D3 once daily for a week to see if she can expel an egg or lash material.

I have given her a lot of calcium tablets and Epsom salt baths over the past year, when she isn't laying and seems lethargic and hunched.

Got it, I'll try today if it stops raining.
