Shouldn't matter when you give her the pills, but just keep it consistent for now. Really what I want to see is if after 2 or 3, even 4 weeks of consistent pills, do her eggs become consistently hard enough for her to lay without issue? If there is no improvement at that time then you'll know the issue is internal, i.e. faulty shelling gland, so extra calcium will not fix it.Does it matter what time I give her the pills, since the only time it "worked" the next day was when I gave it to her around 12pm, instead of 3 pm. but she's been getting pills for over a week now, and I thought she would be accumulating the calcium. Also, does it help if she eats food after she takes the pill, since I've heard some people say that? She always goes for a drink after the pill.
