    Swollen Abdomen & Soft Shelled Eggs

    Sorry...One more question. Do I need to crush it up and mix it with water or something or can I just "force" feed it?

    Swollen Abdomen & Soft Shelled Eggs

    All of that information is definitely reassuring and helpful as I was looking at completely other issues from what I read. Can I find what you are talking about at TSC or should I just get it from a standard drug store?

    Swollen Abdomen & Soft Shelled Eggs

    We are not really able to keep roosters as we live in the city. We ordered straight run silkies and were fortunate enough that 10/15 were hens.
