Gladys is not feeling well.

@casportpony is my dosage right? I hope so because that's what I've been giving Eva my constantly eggbound girl!

The dose is 0.2 ml per pound of bodyweight.

I don't have any idea what she weighs but that should be good for a grown runner girl right? Maybe a bit over?

Wiki says a runner hen weighs 3.1 to 4.4 pounds, so if you think she's at the top end of that you could give 0.9 ml.

ok so I'm going a bit overboard. Will that hurt her?

Probably okay.

I've gotten so good at it that I'm not spilling a drop either which, I guess, makes it worse!

Is she laying shelled eggs again?

I'm glad I asked. I'm going to cut back a bit. Thank you!

When they are confirmed to be egg bound they can have the 0.2 ml per pound twice a day as long as they are properly hydrated.

yes, she was just having trouble getting the egg out. I'm not sure it was her that laid the soft shelled/no shell ones. I'm giving calcium citrate over tomatoes for that to everyone. Seems like every day I'm medicating somebody!
