Calcium Dosage for Egg Bound/Vent Prolapsed Chicken

[Barnette]

So, I have a hen with egg binding and vent prolapse and I was advised to give her Calcium Citrate. I have Kroger brand, adult dietary supplement. Anyone happen to know the dosage for a chicken?

Here's a picture of the bottle and one pill next to a quarter for size reference. I'm planning on dissolving the pill into water to give my chicken. The only dosage instructions on the bottle say "As a dietary supplement for adults, take 2 tablets twice per day with food..." in case that's helpful.

One tablet per day as long as the calcium crisis is in effect. But, don't bother crushing it. Chickens have no problem swallowing pills. We only believe they do because we have trouble.
