 How to Fix Vitamin Deficiencies in Homesteading Chickens

These are such treatable problems, but they’re often overlooked, so that every year, chickens die from something that could easily have been prevented.

If you think your chickens are vitamin deficient, you should start treating them immediately. Usually, if the deficiency is caught in time, it can be treated and reversed in a few days! One way to make sure this doesn’t happen is to make sure you’re using quality feed. The other is to include food in their diets that naturally provide them with the vitamins they need.

This tutorial provides a list of vitamins that chickens need to have in their diet, but often have deficiencies in. The guide also provides a list of ways you can add this to their everyday diet so the deficiencies never take place. However, it should be noted, with chicks, other precautions need to be taken, since they can’t digest everything. The guide explains this further.

The guide also explains how to add the following nutrients to a chickens’ diet naturally

– Vitamin A
– Vitamin B12
– Biotin (Vitamin B7)
– Choline
– Vitamin D3
– Vitamin E
– Folic Acid
– Vitamin K
– Niacin
– Riboflavin
– Pyroxidine (Vitamin B6)

By following this guide, you can give your chickens the nutrients they deserve and keep them healthy longer than ever.
