How to give a stubborn hen clacium tablets

You might also try a layer food that contains oyster shell. Purina Layena is the only one I know of, but there may be others. More expensive than some, probably, but worth it if it helps!
This is what I use as I have one that tends to lay soft eggs despite oyster shells being available. She is the only one that doesn't eat them..for whatever reason. Has seemed to "help"
 
This is what I have
If you can dissolve it into a runny paste, apply it to her beak like you would a liquid medicine. Use an eyedropper or small spoon to lay the liquid along the side of her beak. Her swallow reflex should kick in and she'll take it in, right away. That's how we give electrolytes and any other liquids. Works like a charm!
