    Could my chicken have Egg Yolk Peritonitis?

    Aww no problem, they all still seem well, very stressful worring about them, along with everything else that is going on in the world right now.

    Could my chicken have Egg Yolk Peritonitis?

    Thanks for your help, it's been a week since she was put to sleep, and the other 9 chickens seem well at the moment, but I'm keeping a close eye on them.
