Here's the actual science about why excess calcium is dangerous. It's a very well researched topic.

This is my EE girl, she's currently 32 weeks... any guesses on when she'll lay? She's had a bright red comb for weeks now

It could also be the time of the year there isn't enough light in the day or to cold these are factors. I have about 30 28week old hens I doubt I'll get eggs from in spring also if she isn't feeling secure in her nesting box it could be a reason as well they like fairly enclosed spaces to lay I've seen a chicken literally go into a box to lay an egg and found out she had a stash of 8 eggs in the box

I believe she is 26ish weeks. We had two then a few weeks later we got two more, all "ameraucana" labled then a few months later we got 4 welsummer chicks and a surprises 5th that turned out to be my handsome Roo, Nugget.

As you can see she goes broody quite often but then stops for no reason.
