Bantam staggering head bobbing

How long is too long to give vitamins?
I pointed this out as you said, nutridrench in the waterer, vitamin supplement crumbles in her food, and poly vi sol without iron 1cc daily.

I agree with giving additional multi-vitamins and do that here regularly, but just caution not to overdo giving all of those. I'd back it down to one or go half doses of them all. You can give those indefinitely a couple times a week if you choose, for for the supplement in the feed, that's in there daily. We put rooster booster granules, 1/2 dose in our feed, so they're getting that every day.
 
After more research on this site, I decided to just go ahead and clean her ears with hydrogen peroxide to see if that helped at all, even though I didn’t see any wax buildup or pus. When I cleaned her left ear though the peroxide bubbled. Sign of ear infection? This site recommends polymixin b but we have no vet here to see chickens.
 
I'd still do the same treatment @Wyorp Rock posted above.

I must say she doesn't look so bad though. I've had two. One I still have and still shakes her head pretty bad, but she's a good hen, about 3 years old now. She got the E and scrambled eggs for about a month when she was a few months old, and got better, just never 100%.
