Pullet is stumbling backwards! Help!

Sure, I put the ingredients label here as well. I appreciate the support. She already got another dose. Will lay off the vitamins for a bit starting now.

Vitamin e not k. That’s my mistake on typing. Apologies, it’s been a long day.

Looks good to me

Give her a bit of break from the vitamins. Focus on her eating chick starter and give her a bit eggs or fish (sardines, mackerel) daily.

Hopefully she'll start to improve. It may be since she's behind that she's just failing to thrive but do the best you can.

Well... I appreciate it. I'll give her some boiled eggs after work, this evening. Disappointed in her regression. Hoping not to lose her, but I understand this stuff happens.

I am certainly no expert, but Once I had ducklings in the pond, out back with a niacin deficiency. This sounds like how it started. It progressed to completely splayed legs and inability to walk the first time. It may not help, but it couldn’t hurt to give them a little bit of niacin supplement. once I did this it took several weeks for them to get their ability to walk back, but it worked.

If you want to isolate the niacin, you can get an oral supplement from CVS. Just give them a few little drops in their bake a few times a day.

Okay, good. Thanks for the info. I will start looking into this asap. Is it my ignorance? I thought the extra need for niacin was a duck thing

it is entirely possible that it’s a duck thing, but I have done this with chickens and wild birds too before. In most cases it has worked, but that is no guarantee because I’m not 100% sure on this.

Not currently, but I have used Kalmbach in the past. I didn't use it long enough to say if it is good or bad, but I know a lot of people here use it. I will say that Chewy.com has been fantastic. I get my duck and dog food from there occasionally and they always send fresh bags and delivery is SUPER fast.


Hold the chicken on your knee with one arm, open her beak with that hand, place the pill on the back of her tongue with your other hand, close her beak, and she should swallow it no problem.

I order our horse feed from chewy. Amazing, free 2-day delivery and discount for reoccurring order.

How's she doing?
