Is this what you are looking at? The small bottle is the wafer.

that is a liquid though and has to be all used within a short time after opening. there is supposed to be a wafer you can divide into 1/4ths so as not to need to use it all at one time

I have a eggbound hen. Is there anything that I can do before I put her out of misery? I tried feeling for the egg, but can't find it.

Have you tried giving her a very warm bath and massaging her underbelly back to the vent. I've heard that can help, I sure hope someone with more experience chimes in to help you.
