Rooster BoosterPoultry Cell, 16-Ounce (038-50401)

I have a chick with wry neck and was told to get some poultry cell to treat the chick. I've dealt with a lot of problems in chickens over the years but I'd never had a case of wry neck this severe. I couldn't find any poultry cell locally (live in an extremely rural area) so I ordered this here on Amazon. Progress was extremely slow and I was starting to give up, but I joined a special needs chicken group on Facebook and got tons of helpful advice. Two of the people that run the page are a vet tech and animal nutrition expert so I trust them over some random people on a forum.I was told to discontinue the use of poultry cell for treating wry neck because in order to give the chicks a dose with enough vit e and selenium in it to effectively treat the wry neck, they will be getting too much iron. I was told "poultry cell has too much iron to treat anything but anemia." Now, that's not knocking this product at all, as a general supplement at or below the recommended dose for a short window, it's great, and if you have mites or lice, you need this product in your arsenal for sure. It definitely has its uses. I just wouldn't use it on a regular basis, only for a short period of time. But if you're ordering this to treat wry neck, I'd still order it to have on hand, but not for wry neck treatment specifically.I will be keeping this in my poultry first aid kit as a valuable supplement along with my all time go-to nutridrench, as well as the vit e and selenium gel (made for goats) I got for the wry neck treatment. I have a number of vitamin and mineral supplements and they all serve their purposes, it never hurts to have a variety on hand.With all of that being said, this stuff actually smells pretty good for a poultry supplement, as opposed to the ND which doesn't have a very appealing aroma. I think poultry cell is much more palatable. As I said, each supplement has its uses and place in your first aid kit. I did notice some improvement while my chick was on the poultry cell but his poop was black indicating too much iron.I don't show birds, I just have a flock for eggs and my own enjoyment, so I can't speak to any benefits for that aspect of its use. But I now have this huge bottle of it for any instances I may need it in the future. I'm sure there will be something that comes along, we all know that chickens actively try to find new ways to injure their selves or delete their subscription to existence on a daily basis, and if they aren't, something else is! Oh the joys of being a chicken tender lol.

My chickens love the taste of this. Upon first opening, I thought it was going to be a challenge to get them to take it as directed it doesn’t appear very appetizing, but my hen was chasing after the syringe. I ended up putting it on a bit of feed a she ate it up.It also says you can mix it with the water.It has lots of vitamins they need.The bottle is a nice sturdy bottle.You only need a small amount so it should last a while too.

We had a predator attack on our farm, and one of my roosters seem to be traumatized from the incident. I didn’t see any physical injuries on him, but he was definitely messed up in his head. I ordered these vitamins and put them in his water the morning the order was delivered. That night I noticed an improvement and he only kept improving every day following that. I am very happy with this product.

This stuff is amazing, has saved my backyard birds numerous times when sick and definitely helps with egg production. Lasts forever too, a serving goes a long way, A staple to have with your chicken keeping supplies !!!

I don't really now exactly how affectionately this worked. Had a rooster with a Respiratory Infection. Bought this and mixed with Antibiotics. It probably DEFINITELY helped. Smells bad though and leaks easily

Exactly what I ordered! Very good stuff for meat birds for show and stress!

Rooster booster is one of those must have items in your poultry first aid kit. If you have a chicken or a duck or any other kind of poultry that need a little bit of a pick me up, especially when it’s warm out or if it’s been overly rainy and your birds don’t feel very well. You give them a little rooster booster and it helps to make them feel better and it also helps too. Make them lay more eggs. I have over 100 chickens and I always have this on hand. It’s very easy to use. It’s very inexpensive and it’s very easy to administer it to your birds.

Great product!
