Egluntyne Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 It is a softie. Is she new to laying? They are not uncommon at this stage. She needs good quality layers pellets , mixed poultry grit, and not too many treats. An additional source of calcium such as Limestone Flour, crushed and baked egg shells or a commercial product such as Zolcal D will help if it persists.

Egluntyne Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Just a blip probably. I'd up her calcium intake and cut down of the treats if it happens again, to see if there is any improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
