Laurie, Lil Miss White, I remember her. I can picture her dancing in excitement for her treat. Pecking order issues can be a pain in the tush!
The vitamins I buy are 1.69 a pack. Any chicken vitamin with minerals and electrolytes will do. I look at the packages and count to see how many b vitamins there are in them. What ever you can get will work and if you can get them some wheat that will help too. I read that in old timey poultry handbook.

Thanks for the advice -- I already put oyster shells out -- so I added more. Is there a particular brand of poultry vitamins and minerals you would recommend?
Heaven forbid that I mess with the pecking order -- that's why Lil Miss White is now a house chicken. Ms White was never a friendly one, but she is now. In the morning she dances from foot to foot for her morning treat.

Laurie, If you separate you mess with the pecking order. I'd lightly sprinkle oyster shell on all of their feed, and add poultry vitamins with minerals and apple cider vinegar to their water. If you can get your hands on wheat, wheat helps harden up egg shells too.
