How do we know witch chicken it is,do u smash up the caltrate pill mix it in there food[COLOR=333333]Try some Human Caltrate pills. These contain all the ingredients needed for a hen to process and use calcium. I have used these for years on old hens or hens with troubles laying soft or yolks with just membranes on them.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=333333]Cut a Caltrate pill in half. (you can use the generic form as well, same stuff). You are going to give her a half a pill a day. Break this half into smaller pieces yet and stuff them into raisins. She will never know she is being medicated and think she is getting a treat each day. After about 2 days, she should be putting on a hard shell. Keep up with her Caltrate daily. When you start see a LOT of tiny calcium bumps on the shell, you can back down the amount of times a week you give these to her, as she is now getting excess calcium.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=333333]If she still can not put a shell on even after a week on the Caltrate, then something may be wrong with her shell gland. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=333333]Make sure she is not being bullied away from food and water and if you have to, put out more food and water stations. [/COLOR]
