Well I am trying to save my hen. Thanks to all the good advice on this forum. NEVER imagined douching a hen. Her vent is red a swollen and she has been laying eggs that have a soft shell these last 3 days. Hopeing this will be the answer to my problem. Douching with a tad of apple vinegar to sterile water. Can't tell you all how helpful you have been to this newbie. leilani
