Thanks. :)
Update: she laid a massive soft shelled egg this evening (after the calcium and a warm bath earlier in the day). I'm hoping that this was the issue, or the main issue in any case. Will see how things look in the morning. Thanks again for all your help.
Ok, that's a great help, thank you :)
Sorry - just thought. How much is safe to give? I have some calcium carbonate 800mg & Vit D 5ug tablets at hand. Would these work and would she need a whole one? Otherwise I can order calcium citrate 250 mg + Vit D ~5ug which will be with me in a few days...
Thanks for your reply. Sadly, that makes sense. Do you know how much calcium I should use, please? She's still quite perky so I really hope she can pass it and pull through.
Re. the mites, I've emptied and washed their house out with Poultry Shield. Changed,all the bedding, etc. Sprayed...
Hi All,
I wonder if anyone's seen anything like this - pics and symptoms as follows. I'm incredibly worried - I adore my chickens, they're very much pets.
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Gretel is a cross breed layer...
