Are there no doctors in the house?


We're just back from the vet's. Poor St Ivel the hen was looking rotten over the weekend and I thought she was egg-bound. We tried dunking her in warm water (trick given on the internet) to no avail. Not surprising really, as the vets decided she has peritonitis. She's had a shot and I've had instructions to inject her every day for five days. The other hens are being treated in their water too. Now I've never given an injection to anything before, so I approach this with trepidation.

The two guests who left this morning were doctors. I wish they were still here.
