Okay, I have a Guinea fowl that had this same problem. It's a hernia and should be corrected if it's a good pet.

This same thing happened to my Mom's hen. I put in a needle, nothing came out except a few drops of blood. We let it go and it kept getting bigger, I used very sharp knife and just barely cut the skin. It was her intestines in the bubble! Wr put her down. But we had to do something.No luck. We inserted the needle and nothing came out in the syringe except a few droplets of blood. I can't figure out why nothing more came out because it sure looks like she's completely full of liquid! Going to try again in the morning.
I feel the same, I just don't understand how people can eat chicken after they get to know one, can't wrap my head around itI once had a wonderful hen who had a problem with something like this. I'm not sure if it was a hernia or something else, but it was horrible to lose her. She was a great pet and would jump on my lap and sunbathe. We tried softening the bulge with a soak, massages, and lotion and it began to diminish in size, and she started to act better, but suddenly she didn't act right anymore and passed. I'm sorry for everyone else who's chickens have had this problem; it's awful to lose someone you love.
As a comment to Bettyboop7499, I understand your point of view, but I don't think I could ever eat any of my birds, especially not one that I hatched and raised as a part of my family. You just can't eat family.
