Oh yeah... the calcium...

I sometimes put some apple cider vinegar in the water, about a TBS to a gallon to help them absorb the calcium, but go back and read the posts about soft shelled eggs and you will see a few other suggestions, there was a good one in response to my How could this be? question, and there were a few others. Vitamin D is important, and magnisium as well. I also give Avia-charge 2000 supliment in the water when they are moulting or otherwise not feeling 100% and that helps too.
