Hi
Please can someone advise on how much calcium I should put in the water?  I'm off to Boots to buy tablets.

What for? Is she having problems laying?
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.

one tablet per litre (300mg ish tablets) as an emergency treatment. Also pop a tsp of cod liver oil twice a week mixed in her feed to aid calcium absorption. Poultry Spice is also a useful supplement as it contains essential minerals to support laying. :)
