Leicester_H Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Chikki is still laying eggs with such thin shells they are cracked by the time we find them. They're so nearly OK. Boo's eggs are fine - so diet must be mostly OK. Tried limesone flour. Next step seemsto be Zolcal D ?? Where do you recommend I order this from ? (Omlet don't seem to sell it ??) Best price / speed of delivery. Thanks, H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I've just bought (and received) some . Did a bit of searching for prices and Vetscriptions.co.uk seemed to be the best. £5.99 plus £2.50 P&P. Ordered it on 13th April, it arrived yesterday . I also ordered AviPro Plus at £7.25 while I was at it. Not a very long use by date, though, annoyingly . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_H Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 Hi Since putting this in their water as directed (2tps per litre) chikki hasn't laid an egg at all !! Boo still lays every other day. Should I stop the Zolcal D or continue ?? (Chickens - who'd have 'em - more throuble than they're worth !! (not really!!)) H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Have same sort of problems as you and I have been warned that too much calcium can cause problems as well so to stop the zolcalD after a course and use limestone and codliver oil in pellets couple of times a week and make sure they have green veg like greens and broccoli for vit C to help them metabolise calcium.

Snowy Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Hi Hazel, Sorry I didn't see this earlier Welland Valley feeds in Market Harborough sell Davinova C which is also a liquid calcium supplement (in case you need a further supply!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_H Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 Thanks Snowy. I think I've seen that but wasn't sure if it had the Vitamin D to facilitate Calcium uptake ? Do you know ?? Chikki in a funny mood this morning, so I'll check her over this afternoon when I let them out. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Hmm, I always assumed it did, not sure why, but I can't find any reference to it in the product info on their website (although it is all in German!). I'll have a look next time I get some - I don't even have my own bottle to hand as it ran out the other week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
