I’ve noticed this as of 2 days ago. She’s separated from the flock, no one else appears to be sick but her.
her undercarriage near her vent is very fluid filled. She’s not eating, drinking very little. She’s not laying.
I know I’m suppose to fill out a whole form but I’m in the process of hurrying to get to work

If her whole abdomen feels large and like a water balloon, it's probably ascites aka "water belly", usually due to Egg Yolk Peritonitis as far as I know, but can have other causes. If you have a vet nearby they can do a better diagnosis and perhaps remove some of the fluid to give her more comfort. You can also do this yourself (there's guides on youtube) but it presents risk of infection and still will not cure the underyling cause.
