Advice please, Nelly's not well

She's been off for a few days, thought must be due a soft shell.  She's an ex batt that I've had for just over a year, and has had soft shell probs in the past.

Now wants to constantly be in the nest box, so I thought egg bound?  So did the warm bath thing last night and just repeated it now.  She has passed a bit of poo in the night and still taking some food and water.

Now noticed her abdomen is very swollen, feels fluidy.  So wondering peritonitis?

Not sure what to do.  Any advice please?

Our vet is great with dogs, but not so knowing re chooks, think they will just suggest put her down.

Just adding a PS, noticing Kathies post.  Tips of Nells comb are purple too, and cold to touch.

keep us posted, fingers crossed for her xx

She's been put down
OH is burying her in the garden now.

So sorry Flower Power  .  You did all you could and gave Nellie a good life

Thank you.

You're right HF, I will be thinking of her today, and no doubt shedding a few more tears My sunflower cushion is getting worn and faded, but it's still my favourite place to be

I am so so sorry. Without you having her she would never have known what it is like to be a normal happy chicken, while you had her she had a lovely time and was able to feel the sun on her back.
