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.
