Thank you all for your replies and links! The detox will arrive tomorrow since no one local carries it. I hope to try drain some later today and then add the detox tomorrow. Guess we’ll see how it goes.
 
I drained about 3-4 places and this is what I got

Looks like ascites fluid. Hopefully she will be a little more comfortable. If the places you drained from continue to drip, let them, that will slowly release more fluid and reduce the chance of shock. You can put towels under her to absorb the fluid and change as necessary.

She seems more comfortable! Thank you for the towel suggestion, the places are still draining. This is my first experience with this issue so I have NO clue. I put her back into the crate in the coop with clean bedding under her. Needless to say, that’s been cleaned out and replaced with some towels.
