Hello all!
I was reading a gardening book recently that was talking about how a Tums tablet dissolved in a gallon of water could provide calcium to tomatoes (to prevent them from splitting). Anyway, that got me wondering if you could dissolve Tums in chicken water to meet their calcium needs. I'm guessing probably not (it would introduce a serious risk of too much calcium intake, for one, and free choice for supplements is always the way to go,) but I thought it was an interesting idea. What do y'all think? (knowing that I'm not planning to try it, so don't freak out )
