Another thing you can do to insure this doesn't occur again is to give these birds time on the ground on a regular basis. Besides sunlight for absorption of vitamin D which helps absorption of calcium, exercise in the form of running around on the ground will help improve calcium absorption.

I’ll do that. Good idea.
