    Fragile Eggs Shells, will Ca suppliment help?

    I started her off with 1/2 cc once a day for 5 days. ( you can squirt it on scrambled eggs with her eggs shells too mixed in it for calcium) Now I just put it in the water for the whole flock. It's makes the water look like ice tea so don't freak out lol. But my birds drink it with no problem.
