Selenium?

[Poodlemum]

I’ve got a baby Polish that seems to have wry neck. Is there an easier way to give it selenium? I’m only seeing Tablets

You need to give vitamin e. I just broke open a human capsule and squeezed the whole thing in it's mouth. It fully recovered by the next day.

I have Vit E that I’m giving too, but I heard both help

Do you have a pic of the chick?
If it's wry neck just vitamin e should be sufficient.

They make Vit E with Selenium in powder for horses, but I'd only give it 2-3 times a week and 1/8 teaspoon for a few chickens, or maybe 1/4t for 20 or more chickens. Both Vit E and Selenium can be toxic in too high a dose. Normally, the people I know that give it, do it only over the winter when they are conditioning their birds for breeding season.

I’ll start with the Vit E then, thanks!

Selenium can be found in egg yolks, so a bit of yolk will provide what you need.

I mixed the Vit E with yolk, but she didn’t make it
