Egg in tummy or am I going mad?

[BelovedBirds]

It comes in liquid here. Does it give measurement on how to mix with water?

Also is this the drawing salve? It's all that came up when I looked online but I'm not sure!

That is the drawing salve I have

 

[Miss Lydia]

That’s calcium gluconate but it’s got to be made up differently than the one we give because it says it’s for burns

That's what I thought, would the powdered one work do you think, that's a dietary supplement? I'd have to figure out the dosage... I'll go ahead and order the drawing salve! You're a big help Miss Lydia!

 

[Miss Lydia]

What is the dose of the powder? I am no good with figuring things like this but I’m sure we can figure it out.

WELL!
Dougie has LAID AN EGG. At 4 months.
I saw, and it was the scariest moments of my life. She was clearly uncomfortable and couldnt walk right, I stood up to go outside to check on her just as she turned around, I saw her vent, I was very concerned and then pop, this little egg came out.
It seemed to be quite a healthy strong shell- she is normal and running about like nothing happened while I am still recovering from the momentary panic!
I checked her vent, it looks okay to me, no redness or protrusion or bleeding. It does however seem uncomfortable to her still and sort of opens and closes very slightly. This is normal after first time laying?

Bearing in mind this only just happened. She enjoyed the reassuring attention and strokes before trying her first own scrambled eggs + shell! which her terrible mum overcooked slightly because I'm vegan and don't know how to cook an egg apparently
Here are photos!
(dont judge the pen, it's one of the last days they'll be using it, it's big enough for them to run about and spread their wings but not ideal, their proper large walk in one is up and ready now)

Look at that! Always eggciting to get that first egg. And yes everything you described is natural.

I wish she'd have waited while we figured this out!
What is the brand you use/dosage? I may be able to figure out how/how much to prepare

That is a relief!! Her sister is only 4 days behind so at least I'm prepared now, I think haha

Are you talking about what brand calcium gluconate? It’s Durvet it comes in liquid and I give 1ml. Do you have oyster shell out for them?

yes! They have had oyster shells for a short while now, and it was a relief that upon cracking the egg open the shell seemed quite strong- not brittle or soft!
Ah Durvet! I'll have a look online at it. Not sure I'll be able to find it here, but I did manage to find the b complex (at a cost) so perhaps the same place will have the calcium gluconate
