Hi all! I believe I have an egg bound hen, I was able to give her a calcium tablet. Is this a fast acting thing (if it works) or what should I expect?
Thank you!
Thank you!

Also curious about citrate vs carbonate, my CVS only had carbonate so I dosed my hen that as well, wondering if that's OK.I do feel an egg a few inches away from the vent. I believe I have messed up on type of calcium though I gave her carbonate (500 mg) because that’s what I had, I didn’t think about it needing to be citrate.
She is nearly one year old and has always laid less frequently that the other hens. However, I’ve never seen her looking ill or lethargic until today. As of right now she looks very ill so I’m worried a bath would be too stressful. I’ll try the warm towels.
