ok thank you Cathryn, I will do this asap! And will give all the other chickens the poultry vitamins.
I feed layer crumbles, oats & wheat and they free range in the back yard all afternoon. Don't understand why she would have a vitamin deficiency!

Poultry vitamins won't provide this. I read on a poultry supply business site that it is 1/4 tsp per gallon based on the directions you just read to me. What ever caused your hen to go down is there to affect the other hens and for some reason didn't, at least not to the point where your chickens would let on. I'd get the barn chickens on the poultry vitamins soon and do so for a week, then 3 days a week on a schedule.
