Any input on this? I give them 17% protein feed and grit, it seems like they are not getting correct percentage of salt. One of the hen layed egg yesterday and she having problem walking. I also give Pigeons Builder in drinking water every other week
Please advise

Sounds like a calcium deficiency, not salt. Does your grit have oyster shells in it?

Thanks guys, the grit I am using do not have oster shells. It is really difficult here in NJ to get the pigeons feed and grit.

You will be able to find oyster shell at your local pet store that sells birds. Even better is a pet bird store. Hookbills and other varieties of birds need grit too so you might have some success searching there. Just mix it into the grit bowl or give it to them separate in another bowl.

I am able to find oyster shell girt however I think I still need to add pigeon’s grit to it? Would it by itself good enough for "grain digestion" plus take care of "calcium deficiency"?
I think I need to get pigeons pellets for breeders. That will take care of every thing. Thanks, -Rauf
