Guest Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Ginger has bee laying eggs with have absolutly no shell what so ever. She has layed one or two before but then gone back to laying normally so I put it down to lack of calcium but now shes been laying them for about just over a week. Otherwise she doesn't seem un well if prehaps a little less energetic. Any suggestions? I am making sure there is plenty of grit and oystershell out and I am going to start mixing limestone flour into her layers pellets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budgies Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Has she been wormed recently? If not, I'd recommend doing so with Flubenvet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I wormed her yesterday so we'll see if that helps. She also has slightly runny poos. She still seems a little under the weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 If you used Flubenvet, she needs a seven day course, Limestone flour is a good idea. I'd also add a dollop of cod liver oil to the pellets as it contains vit D3 which will help with calcium metabolism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budgies Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I'd also check her roost bars - wipe them with kitchen paper especially in all the nooks and crannies - to see if you have red mite. Hens suffer a loss of condition very quickly with an infestation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
