My girl was given a bath today after suspected water belly she absolutely had it. Huge water balloon. But when I researched it, the liquid is suppossed to be yellow, and hers was crystal clear. She is almost at the edge of death, so can someone please help me see why it is clear and what it means? Thank you with all my heart, she is my favorite girl.
 
Hello, I'm so sorry about your hen, clear liquid most likely means ascites, if she's near death then her organs are failing. All you can do is comfort her and spend as much time as you can with her . Treasure every moment đź’”
 
Clear liquid means that she doesn’t have water belly, but probably has a cystic right oviduct. How much fluid came out? Hens are born with 2 oviducts, and normally the right one shrinks and does not function. If it doesn’t then fluid collects in a sack there. The belly then may appear enlarged but not from ascites/water belly. Here is link to read about that:

I took 40 ml out. Her entire abdomen is filled though. I couldn't do much because the "water belly" kit that I order had a syringe that wouldn't fit on the tube, so I had to use a smaller one and had to do it myself, so I had to poke her 3 times which I felt really bad for doing.
