Thanks for the update!

Not sure I'd do it on a regular basis... Too much calcium and/or an improper calcium to phosphorus ratio can cause gout in poultry. Just keep lots of fresh lay pellets/crumble and oyster shell out for her and give her calcium every few days until her shells return to normal. That's what I would...

Both of my BBW turkeys were doing the same until I started them on oral calcium. Now they each get 2000mg whenever they look like they might be struggling to lay.

Give more calcium, at least 500mg and see if that helps.

I never do mine two days in a row.

Oh, and I give the pill whole, even to the small ones!

I give them only when I suspect a problem and never more than every other day, but that's not based on anything other than a strange gut feeling that it might not be good to give it too often. FWIW, My little Old English was egg bound again today, so at 1pm I gave her 500mg calcium and by...

for you!

Culling is always a viable option, but one that I can't seem to do, even when I know I should.

If you have the time, you could hold her in a sink of warm water (I'm lazy, so I use the steam method). I would not use the Tums, get some calcium.

Looks like she's have egg laying problems of some sort, which will probably kill her if you do nothing. Do you have a bathroom that you can fill with steam from the shower? If so, turn your water heater to high, give her 500mg of calcium, wait about an hour, fill the bathroom with steam and put...

And you should be worried, at least that's been my experience... Get some gloves, KY Jelly and very gently do an exam. If no eggs, EYP or cancer are present, the only thing I have been able to feel is the gizzard. If you can feel an egg, soft or hard, give her a human calcium pill, it will...
