I have tried the calicum, free choice. They are on good pelleted feed. The treats are usually kale, collard, scrambled eggs,
carrots, leftover veggies. She is a daily layer. She still has thin shelled eggs. My other hens are great, no problems. What else can I do?
 
Any D supplements that you can get a drug store will do. Just crush and mix with a treat. She won't need the whole amount a human would for a daily dose, spread it out over a couple of days. You can also give her a calcium antacid like Tums, crushed.
 
Thank you that is an easy task. I hope it helps. Always afraid that she may break the egg inside her of while partially laying. A parrot hen was what we call egg bound. I spent a lot of hours with wet heat until she finally sluffed it. Then antibiotics for 10 days. Didn't want that revisited.
