I haven’t decided whether to feel guilty about this or not
, but I jump-started the Littles into laying (per their combs and behavior it was time!) and sorta got the Bigs going again with 600 mg calcium/2000 IU Vit D tablets crushed in soft cat food over the past week. It worked!Maybe between her brutal molt and the short days, it’s taking a while for her body to get back in the laying program. I hope that the calcium supplements will help her pass any crud that’s clogging her system. Mine have had some calcium in their feed plus the usual oyster shell, but it wasn’t until they got hit with 600 mg Ca every other day that anything started happening. They’re also tearing through the saved eggshells, so something seems to have awakened them to the need for calcium, maybe.
Stay with us, Esther, you’re beautiful, we’re rooting for you, and we love you!
