RIR laying very soft, watery eggs

[redheads]

Well, now, that just made my night! Thank you so much. So far, these birds have been my most favorite pets, ever. I'll get to work on them right away so we can get back to the egg laying business. We are some egg-eating fools in this household!

If you don't have any other symptoms I would try the tastier forms of calcium supplementatlon. If that is it, as it was for me, then you will see improvement in a few days or so. I can't say exactly how many days.....I didn't pay that much attention but it wasn't too long.

I would start out with electrolytes/vitamins in the water, something like Sav-A-Chik, mix the oyster shell into the food and give them some calcium-rich treats to start off. Keep an eye on them & see how it goes for a week. If no improvement, we'll have to delve a little deeper.
