How to administer calcium citrate to chickens?

Hello there. I need to start giving one of my hens some calcium citrate to help with her egg laying issues. Does anyone know how to properly administer this to a hen?

I feed calcium tablets to my hens that require it right out of my hand.
I coat the tablet with yogurt and offer it to her and she gobbles it right down.
I've trained all my hens to eat directly from hand for this very purpose. They get a handful of raisins each morning and the hens are fed them individually.

Thank you so much. This is extremely helpful and I will certainly give it a try!
