Undoubtedly our favorite calcium supplement for egg laying hens. Vetafarm makes the highest quality cage bird supplements in the world. This calcium has a nice syrupy consistency that mixes well with the drinking water and has an appealing taste.

We offer this 3-4 days a month as maintenance, then again upon setting up the breeding pair until the hen has completed laying. It is offered again for the 1st 10 days upon hatching to prevent splay legs. We haven’t had a single case of egg binding, or splay since switching to this product.

Supports shell formation and the normal development of bones in young birds. Regular use in all seed-eating birds will ensure adequate calcium for strong bones, muscle formation and general well being. Can also be used as an emergency oral calcium supplement for egg bound or critically deficient birds.

All birds on caged bird diets, particularly during the breeding season. We use this with great success for our breeding Lineolated Parakeets, Bourke’s Parakeets, and English Budgies. This is a product recommended by the manufacturer for all soft and hook bill parrots.

Calcivet will greatly enhance available calcium in the birds’ diet; additional vitamins and mineral supplements are recommended for birds on seed diets. Breeding Aid is a great way to get the added fatty acids and vitamins into a seed eating species diet click here for more info/or to purchase.
