Hey friends... well I think I’ve determined my 7 month old Brahama has egg peritonitis. Last week I found her in the morning with yolk all over her and a soft shell hanging from her feathers. I assumed she laid a soft egg and pecked it...later that week she struggled to lay an egg but did! No yolk on that egg but a little blood. She had been going downhill somewhat since. Not loving much, not eating much and I’m giving her water/electrolytes with a syringe. She does still like to free range for a bit but then stops and closes eyes. I’ve brought her inside and she just stands there with eyes closed and hunched over. I’m heartbroken! I don’t know what to do to help her. Is there any way she can survive this? Could it be something else? She is able to poop but it’s watery and yellowish but doesn’t really look like yolk? Any help appreciated. I don’t know what to do or if I should put her out of her misery? She seems content but I don’t how long to let this go... I truly can’t take her to a vet.. there are none close by
