I know. It counterintuitive. But I do know that there is an implant that a vet can put into a bird to help reduce or stop laying entirely. I know it might be hard to fathom of why somebody would want to do some thing like this but my favorite little Serama hen, Pippa, is a tiny little thing, and she is having weekly problems with egg binding and soft shell eggs, and I have tried all of the remedies from full spectrum light to even reducing light to try to stop the frequency But soft shelled eggs keep getting lodged and no amount of calcium supplement does the trick either so I'm wondering if trying to implant to get her to stop laying all together would be the answer? I've heard good and bad about this implant. I'm hoping some of you have had experience with it and can further advise if it worked or not and any harmful side effects , that may have resulted? Obviously breeding pippa is not a priority for me. She is kind of my poster child for our breed club demos and things like that and I just love her to pieces and I don't wanna lose her but every week we're dealing with being egg bound with a large soft shell egg. in serama, Sometimes The seems to be an inherent problem that can't be remedied with light or calcium. It happens a lot more with the little ones than it does large fowl I think. Anyway, any advice or feedback on the implant if you've used it would be great! Thank you!
