Usually they just take the pill. I haven't had luck with that so I've had to mix it with scrambled egg. Oyster shell is calcium carbonate but what you need in the case of an egg bound hen is a high dose of calcium citrate to stimulate contractions so she can expel the egg.Currently she's pecking at an apple w the flock. I saw her bum, it's got dark brown runs on it. Much different from yesterday. Looks like a bath is in order!
I did give her the .5ml 2 times a day for 3 days of the corid, so I'm good there. .
Can you tell me how to giver her the Calcium? She does get egg shells and oyster shells, is that the same thing? Thanks for your reply!!!
