what will we do if calcium got decreased in birds?
Calcium intake  produces a strong, dense shell on the eggs.  It prevents eggs  to become soft or shelless eggs, which can contribute to egg binding and/or dystocia, impaction or prolapse of the uterus or oviduct.The calcium is drawn from the bones while an egg is in the uterus (shell gland).The shell  should have enough calcium carbonate in it. As the embryo gets close to hatch, it can use this reserve to draw calcium into the body and bloodstream for the developing bones.
 If calcium is not supplemented in the correct dosage egg shells will be soft.
