Hello
I have 8 Coturnix quail. They are 2months old. They were all laying normal healthy eggs until a week ago, when one started coming out rough with discoloration and a soft shell (it’s always cracked/ broken). I’ve read that this can indicate calcium deficiency. What’s the best way to supplement with calcium? And since it’s just the one hen having problems should I offer to the others as well? 43D0C6A5-6B96-47A5-8898-578E3A594365.jpeg 103FDE68-1894-4014-A07C-3D77850D49B7.jpeg
Any other thoughts ?
Thanks in advance
 
Thank you! Do the oyster shell and egg shell need to be powder or just small sized chips?


I was going to say that looked like not enough calcium. I provide a dish on the side filled with oyster shell crushed to quail sized pieces or crushed egg shell.
