Distended Abdomen

[Chicken Whisperers]

So I saw something on BYC about a swollen belly, and I am worried because I noticed that one of our chickens has a distended abdomen a month ago. I am scared that she does not have long to live. We have none of the supplies to drain the fluid, either. What should I do?

I saw a video about removing the fluid, and thought oh no, one of our older chickens has a swollen belly.

Also, is waterbelly common in Brahmas sort of like frostbite is common in non- cold hardy chickens?? Our buff Brahma has been acting a bit weird lately
