Calcium Sandoz dosage

[jusdeb]

I have a Red Rump hen on eggs which are due to hatch so of course she is in the nest most of the time however when she is out she seems to be climbing rather than flying about the aviary .
Ive checked her feathers , wings etc as you do and nothing is amiss so I just thought Id keep an eye on her anyhoo after reading another post I think she may be a chance of being calcium deficient .
So the thing Im thinking is to get some Calcium Sandoz into her preferably without catching her OR to add Biocal to the aviary for her to pick at herself .
I have Biocal already so really just need some advice as to whether to treat her / leave her or add the Biocal and let her pick at it herself?

I have taken a bit of a leave her be attitude up to now as she went directly onto eggs within days of being released into the suspended aviary so Im not sure if she has a problem or hasnt got used to the aviary and I kinda dont like to add anything to the diet that isnt needed in case it may harm the bird.

They all have access to cuttlebone and calci grits but I dont think they are getting the minerals they need also.

Any advice appreciated

Deb,the biocal would be better than the sandoz, as the sandoz is steight calcium, & doesn't taste to good either. The biocal has more mineals in it & can be mixed with other grit. If your going to use a liquid supplement, use something like Calcivet or similar, that contains D3 & manesium.
