Plum Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Don't know the right answer but I mix about a dessert spoon with a grub of pellets or a teaspoon to a bowl of wet pellets. Don't use for too long as I believe too much calcium can cause kidney problems. If I have just one who I think needs a supplement I give her a bowl of food alone in the morning. Another way is liquid calcium - zolcalD which I put the daily dose on a piece of bread and just treat the right chicken Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raina Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I Give my girls a Table Spoon full per hen (I give my tortoises a teaspoon full) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Also try adding a slurp of cod liver oil to aid the absorption of the calcium. I add it every so often, not on a regular basis. Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Ad hoc basis here too, I add a dessert spoonful to two litres of pellets/feed with cod liver oil to help them absorb it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
