Over a period of about 3-6 months my hen Rosie has had a larger belly which has seemed to be getting bigger over time. And she hasn't been laying eggs. She is 2.5 years old and she is a red sex link.
Over the past week Rosie has been lethargic and lost her appetite a few days ago although her thirst is not effected. Again her belly is really full of water or something like a liquid. I've thought it was just internal laying or the egg yolk pertitious thing but now I'm thinking maybe ascities? Could ascities be what's causing this? If so how can I drain her? If this still sounds like internal laying how can I drain her of those fluids?
I gave hher antibiotics 3 days in a row by mouth with a syring and electolytes so days too.
