Runner can't lay egg or is a rubber egg!

Thank you very much! I have also tried oyster grit but she won't eat it. I seem to have a very picky little friend! Could giving too many peas cause this? They get some every evening as a treat before bed. I also include corn.

I just bought calcium citrate in pill form. How much is enough to give? Each half pill is 350mg. Do I crush this up and give a tiny pinch? Thanks!!

I just bought calcium citrate and it is in pill form @ 315mg each half. How doI know how much to give? A very small pinch?

How much does she weigh? I give mine no less than 50 mg per pound once a day.

You can give the whole pill, or most of a whole pill orally.

I will refer this to @casportpony she's more familiar with dosages than I am.

Just to show you can pick up a Runner with out scaring them to death. This was the first time I actually picked up my silver Runner Pearl she had bumble foot and had to be treated this past summer she survived and was such a good girl. Did she want to be picked up and held Nope but once I did she settled down.View attachment 1594242

Great news!! I gave CarolAnne some calcium citrate and yesterday she laid an egg that was hard! Not completely hard as it should be, but hard all the same!! I'm thinking by today it will be even harder! What a wonderful Thanksgiving this is! I want to thank you all for helping me and giving me advice. This has been so stressful and I am relieved that things are going in the right direction Thank you all once again!! @casportpony @007Sean @Col1948 @CayugaJana @happy duck @Miss Lydia
