Aggienator Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Hi, Does anyone know of a good poultry vet in or near Sheffield? One of our girls is laying a lot of softies, although in every other respect she seems to be fit and healthy. We have added calcium and vitamin D to the water and they have free access to the mixed oyster shell and grit. So we thought we should get some further advice. Many thanks for any advice!

Lewis Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 In the past @Egluntyne has said; Park Veterinary Clinic on Abbeydale Road South, opposite Millhouses Park are ok, as are Vets for Pets, just up the road on Abbeydale Road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mullethunter Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I have a pekin who laid a run of eggs with soft shells - actually no shells just membrane. At the dogmothers suggestion I added lifeguard tonic to their water for a little while and her eggs have been good ever since. It is of course possible the timing was just coincidental but it seemed as if it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggienator Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Dear all, Many thanks for the advice. Unfortunately we haven't found a treatable cause, so it looks like our girls will just be unproductive, but still much loved, pets for the duration....
