I am having a really hard time in our town to find vitamin b drops. I can find niacin capsules but they are 500 mg. Would I mix with 5 gallons of water or can I split the powder up and sprinkle it on their food? The drops won't be here for 3 to 4 days. Thanks

I have used Poly-visol infant drops with NO iron, drops from GNC or drops I got in the vitamin section at Walmart. All have worked equally well. I try to drop a few drops along their beak so they take it in three or four times a day or on scrambled egg. With the goose, I did a drop or two on lettuce several times a day. I have not tried crushing pills in the water and am not sure how you would dilute that but if I couldn't get drops, I would probably try it.

I put niacin from vitamins (crushed) into water in a coffee can seperate from the other water so they can self regulate. It seems to work. FWIW. Yes, they waste some but the bottle has lasted for years.
