Yes. The theory is that it is better absorbed or more of it is absorbed. I have not seen scientific evidence for that but It is a reasonable hypothesis.Apparently Calcium Citrate rather than Calcium Carbonate works fastest and best.
I give Calcium citrate with vitamin D in caplet form sold for use by people in the pharmacy.
The caplet form makes it easy to pop into the hens mouth and it goes down the hatch before she spots what I did.
I can usually get 2-3 down without any meaningful objection.
