Calcium deficiency, making sure recommended care I got makes sense.

You can use 300mg of the calcium citrate. If you have 600 mg of calcium that is okay to use as well. There was some discussion her recently because many thought that 600 mg was the dosage, but some found out that the tablets may only have 300 mg. I think Azygous realized that was enough. The calcium I have is 600 mg per tablet, but it is not citrate.
For my chicken that has cystic oviduct, should I give calcium and D daily or just for a week and see how she does?

What is cystic oviduct? Can you give symptoms or tell us what has been happening? Calcium can help if there have been soft or thin shelled eggs or salpingitis (inflammation of the oviduct.) It might help if has a prolapsed vent.

Cystic right oviduct is what we believe is going on with her, we’ve had to drain with a syringe a couple times and I thought she had water belly but the fluid was crystal clear. She has also layed soft shelled eggs but isn’t currently
 
Oh okay, I understand now. Yes that is fairly common, although not as common as water belly/ascites. The only treatments I know of are hormone implants or hysterectomy, neither of which I would do. Draining occasionally may help. Here is a good article to read:

Thank you! I had been giving her half of a calcium citrate/vitamin d pill daily for about the last week because of her irregular eggs, should I pause that do you think/can it be harmful if done for a long time
