I don’t think it had an effect on Henny, but maybe on Friendly. I will continue with the ACV, and try Caltrate in addition.

10 days of ACV in their water, and Henrietta still lays eggs with a shell so thin, they sometimes break. If I catch her laying, and take it away, I can save it. Friendly on the other hand (or should I say claw?), has started laying again, after months of not laying. Her eggs mostly just fall...

And I am sorry about your loss @VictoriaTemple .

Thanks for the advice. Right now I am trying apple cider vinegar in their water for a week. If it doesn’t make a difference, I’ll try the Caltrate. I should be able to get it here.

I used to serve their feed wetted only, for the first year. They had the thin shelled egg- problem then too. I ran out of time to do that, since I am milking goats now. I can see that they pick and choose from the dry layer feed, and there is a lot of waste. But with wet feed I had to get them...

What form of caltrate did you use and how did you give it to her?

I will try the ACV in the water. I do it for the goats anyway.

My chickens diet is organic layer and a bit of scratch, bits of fruit and any bugs and scraps they find. They have access to oystershells and crushed eggshells. They get a snack plate with any leftover bread or other scraps at night, that I add a little ground up oystershell to. I do believe...
