peckingham palace Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Got home the other day to find that one of my ladies had a prolapse. Took her to the excellent local poultry specialist vet nearby who did the necessary stitching, steroid and antibiotic treatment and antibiotics to bring home. He has emailed me a report of the episode and recommended a liquid calcium supplement to try and help egg transit. My question is can anyone suggest a really good vitamin and mineral supplement, particularly one with a good calcium boost. I do give them a poultry drink, but wonder if I should be doing more? Any help and advice would be most gratefully received and taken on board. Thanks for reading my post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimnpaula Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I believe Zolcal D is a good liquid supplement, but I have never used it so can't vouch for its effectiveness. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickchick2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I was having trouble with one of my bantams who was having problems laying an egg. The vet gave me some calcium tablets to give her - way too difficult!!!! So she managed to track down a calcium liquid which I add to the drinking water one day a week (10ml per pint of water). I phoned the company up and it reached me a couple of days later. It has done the trick so I can certainly recommend this product. (The vet worked out the dosage before I started treatment). The company I got it from is called Fur'n'Feathers 0141 237 9913 (Glasgow), £8.99 but with p+p it came to £14.98. I hope this helps you - good luck. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
