One of my girls was ill a few weeks ago, I thought we might lose her, but she recovered, although stopped laying for a bit. Now she is laying, but we are getting very thin shelled eggs from her - not softies, but very fragile and easily broken.

 

If I get some soluble calcium, will it be bad for the rest of the girls, whose eggs are fine (touch wood). They already have mixed grit available.

 

Someone has suggested that I 'take her off lay' by only feeding her corn, but this would mean keeping her separate, which isn't very practical for me at the moment.

 

Thanks.

you could try adding a bit to some treats and give them to her on her own. its the method i use for medication

Thanks sjp, but it's soluble I think. Haven't had much success with syringing either - I get very wet

You could add it to a small bowl of pellets or something and make sure only she gets it?
