I have a silkie hen that just went through a hard molt. She stayed in the coop alot so i don't think she ate as much as she should have and now looks to be very vitamin deficient. She has slight wry neck. Which would better for her, Nutridrench or poultry cell? Also what's the correct dosage and for how long can it be given?
 
For wry neck I would use human super b complex 1/4 tablet daily crushed in food, along with vitamin E 400 IU given orally. A small amount of scrambled egg including yolk, would supply selenium to help the E. Neither Poultry Cell or NutriDrench has enough E to treat wry neck. Silkies are a little prone to wry neck, which can be caused by head injury, vitamin E or thiamine deficiency, and is sometimes seen with Mareks or a few other viruses. Here is a good price on the B complex:

Thank you!
How long do you administer the vitamins?
This little hen was in a serious molt and secluded herself. I don't think she was eating as much as she should and now she's a little thin and has slight wry neck. She's also off food completely now so I'm having to hang feed her.
