My 8 year old hen laid a soft shelled egg today- advice needed

[mrskenmore]

What do the directions say on the bottle? Is it to be given orally directly into the mouth or does it say to mix it in liquid?

It says to give it directly - 1 mL orally - would I be able to mix in water?

No, it's formulated to direct dose, not mix in water. Does it say on the bottle how much one squirt would deliver?

Ahh I just saw the dosage is on the dropper- so I can measure it that way! Thanks!

Just wanted to update all- Madame Curie had a molt over the summer and stopped laying, her feathers have now grown back and she is back to the nesting box, they are free ranging more now and she laid a soft shelled egg last week, I quickly gave her a dropper of the liquid calcium, the next two eggs had a shell! I will continue to supplement her, as she is doing really well with it.

Thanks again to all with the help and advice for my gal!
