peahen with drooping wings

She was doing good.
My question is how often do I dare give her calcium pills? She is getting egg being at least once a week now. I give her a pill and that night she will lay. She has a constant supply of crushed egg shells and also oyster shells in there with her. I just don't want to give her to much calcium

Are you feeding her lay pellets or lay crumble?

Some hens will ignore the oyster shell so it is really best if you give a feed with at least 1 1/2% calcium in it, (layer feed). Here is a hen of mine that was not having any trouble passing eggs, I will observe them for at least two days before I give the calcium gluconate.

I was using layer pellets and now switched to layer crumbles to see if that helps

Lay pellets and lay crumples should have more than enough calcium, I think they are both 3-4% calcium.

Yes its 3 to 3.8 percent calcium
