Selenium & Vitamin E Powder for Chickens | Poultry Nutrient Support Blend for Muscle Activity & Daily Balance | Feed Mix Additive for Chickens & All Poultry | 113g

It's only been about a week since I've been giving this to my hen. Before she could hardly walk and if she did it was mostly backwards and her neck was crooked and she was holding her head almost backwards. Now she seems pretty close to normal. Not 100% but a lot better. This product seemed to have helped her.

I have one bird who gets re current wry neck. Selenium is supposed to help. Its too soon to say if its doing anything, but i can say that its easy to use and the birds dont seem to mind it.

This selenium and vitamin e powder works great! I use it on my chickens whenever they get wry neck and this usually solves the problem very quick. It is super easy to use because it’s in power form and also comes with a good amount in the little bin. It is a little expensive but this powder is usually on the expensive side so I think it’s worth it.

This is easy to use. Just add it to the chicken feed. It helps my girls with their feathers a well as the quality of their eggs. Very inexpensive.

Review for selenium and vitamin E powder for chickens. I had a frizzle Cochin that was starting to get wry neck and I read that vitamin E and selenium were important for treating wry neck. I am relatively new to chickens and was not sure what dose to give or where to get an appropriate supplement, so when I saw this product, I was excited. It is relatively easy to mix this powder according to the directions into dry feed, but I recommend being as precise as possible to prevent overdose. My frizzle improved on this supplement, and then suddenly and rapidly declined and died within a day. I have no idea what happened, but I have begun using it again at diluted levels. So far, it’s good and I am hoping to prevent wry neck from happening again. This is the only chicken supplement I could find that had these two vitamins I needed. I have since read that they need b-complex in addition when supplementing with selenium and vitamin e. This powder seems to go a long way, so it is a good value for the money.

Yes!!! This product contains selenium and vitamin E in a powder form for chickens. Selenium works synergistically with vitamin E to help support chickens immune system and fight disease. Disease deficiency can cause muscular dystrophy leading to pale muscles, weakness, and death. It also helps during the summer with heat stress. It will improve reproduction performance as well as egg production. The description of this product is accurate. Health benefits of Selenium & vitamin E include an immune system boost, antioxidant protection, reproductive health and offers stress relief. Selenium and vitamin E each enhance the other function. Selenium helps reduce peroxide radicals while vitamin E neutralizes free radicals, creating stronger defense against oxidative stress. Like selenium deficiency, excess selenium can damage various tissues in poultry. Acute or chronic selenium toxicity can occur when the intake of selenium exceeds the need for the organism. In poultry , selenium toxicity can be manifested by reduced and decreased body weight, deformed eggs and foot lesions. This is a good product and can boost your chickens immune system when used properly. If you are unsure about how to treat your flock with this product please contact your veterinarian for dosage recommendations. Most commercial chicken feed products contain the vitamins and minerals that are essential to your flock’s health. Adding a little extra of this product as a boost for their health is okay but it should only be used on short term basis to avoid toxicity. It is reasonably priced and I consider it a good value for the money.

I am a new poultry keeper lol. Me and my husband got some chickens and ducks and have been quickly learning as much as we can about them and determined it's vital to have a supplement with vitamin e and selenium in it for their growth and long-term health. We were considering a couple of options, either in liquid form to add to their water, or in this kind of powdered form to add to their food, and decided this one was best. It can be added to the entire flocks meal, or individual portions that they can eat out of a cup while you hold them, so that the rest of the flock can have a basic maintenance dose, but any with exhibiting any issues, can have a boosted dose. We find that much easier to navigate separate foods, than having separate waterers which would require having separate enclosures, plus they don't drink a lot at once, so ensuring they are getting enough of that is much more difficult, where is this we can essentially spike their treats with these nutrients and they are eager to take it so we can be more precise with the doses they are all getting. This is a very good value for the amount you are getting, a little definitely goes a long way. We have a flock of 10 currently so this will last a long time with that, and if we get more, this will still last many months and potentially longer of just a maintenance dose if no one is having any concerns. It comes with a little scooper which makes measuring very easy and you just sprinkle it on their food. It doesn't seem like they notice any flavor to it because they don't express any hesitation towards eating any food with it included, which is great. It's never ideal to have to syringe feed medicines or nutrients to animals that don't want them. Particularly chickens and ducks which are not the most calm and participatory towards treatments. They have been taking this willingly without issues or us having to do anything additional to offset the flavors. It's a pretty fine consistency, but as we are not using it in the water, I'm not sure how easy and quick it is to dissolve. But in general most things are easier to dissolve in warmer water, so in the winter time just heating up the water should make that easier if that is an issue. But in food it just seamlessly mixes in If you give the food a little spritz or splash and shake it around like we do anyway. That already boosts hydration and their interest in eating it anyway.

I ordered this product at a time when my chicken’s feathers were looking really rough and egg production had gone down. I thought it might give them a boost and help get them back on track. I did not read the fine print in the description well enough. I assumed this was something I would add to their water, but I was wrong. I will say a little bit goes a long way. It’s not a very big container, but the scoop inside is tiny and the amount that you give them is also small. But it says to mix it evenly into their feed and mixing 1 g of powder into 4 pounds of feed is easier said than done. Not to mention, I don’t typically weigh their food. I just fill a bucket and take it out and put it in their feeder. And then they scratch around in it, which would make the powder sift to the bottom I would think, and there goes even distribution. It cautions about over use because selenium can be toxic so in the end, I’ve used it very sparingly as I was afraid I would actually end up making my chickens worse. Maybe if I fed some sort of gruel or wet Feed this would be an easier product to use, but we have 11 chickens in addition to many other farm animals and it just doesn’t seem very practical. Because it’s difficult to use I can’t really report on its effectiveness because I have not used it regularly enough to give it a fair chance.
