constipated

Hey guys it's me back with ANOTHER issue with the SAME hen. A couple of weeks ago she had an egg break inside her no shell just a little fluid. Went to the vet, got her some meds. Started doing well the 5 days ago stopped eating and drinking on her own. Yes, I didn't the whole egg binding check...

I have nine bourbon red poults that are about two weeks old. One is not doing well this evening. His belly area seems swollen, there is a scab in that area. He is just standing with his eyes closed and wings drooped, letting the other poults run over him. Could it have an infection? Or be...

Egg bound or constipated chicken?? I have a hen that is lethargic and kind of walking funny. I brought her inside and gave her a bath and let her soak for a bit with her vent under water. She had a lot of poop stuck on her. She also has pooped before and after the bath. I’m not sure if she’s...

We noticed on Sunday our baby had a super dirty butt. We brought her inside and noticed her vent had prolapsed. My MIL came over and was able to clean her and push it back in and everything was fine. Yesterday we were worse than the original. Today I feel even though I have done everything I...

So i have this chick that is about 3 days now, she is struggling to poop and the shrieking makes me feel so bad. She will squat for about 10 seconds shrieking. When i look at her from behind she is always pushing. She barely gets anything out, i helped get 3 little, what looks like undigested...

I have a week old chick that I believe is constipated. It all started with me thinking she may be starting to get a prolapsed vent, but as I was treating her swollen vet as a prolapsed vent, I noticed she was struggling to have a bowel movement. She was straining while I was doing a warm epsom...

Need help. 2nd time in 3 weeks, my hen has become constipated. The first time around, she came in the house for 4 or 5 days, got epsom salt baths for 20-30 minutes 3-5 times daily with massages, Nutridrench and Rooster Booster in water. She ended up prolapsing, at which point I was able to soak...

Hi folks Our 2 yr old lady Ponyo laid an egg the other day that was really longgg and misshapen, and then a watery membrane egg with no yolk that we could see (found it after an hour) and today she had some weird egg sack hanging half out of her vent. I tried to assist and it broke. She has...

I have an 8 week old chick that has been making a funny chirping sound as it constantly tries to poop but struggling/nothing comes out. Poops are watery and white and bum is now messy from it. Looks like maybe his vent is protruding more than normal or maybe swollen...not really red or...

Hello! I am a new member to this community but have been actively reading and learning from this website since I started my poultry-loving journey early this year! I am sadly having a bit of a problem. I have a sick week-old baby turkey. She can’t poop on her own - she strains and pushes and...

Need your help again friends. I took one of my quail out of the coop because she was acting egg bound; lethargic, straining to push something out, panting. But after some warm baths with Epsom salts she had some very large solid poops. Do you think she was just constipated or should I keep up...

Hi all! One of my lovely sash chickens is looking a bit worse for wear. She was fine yesterday, laid no problem and seemed ok this morning when I let them out, but when I went into the coop this afternoon to check on food and water she just stat in a corner of the run. (they normally come...

I have a month old gosling with two vents. She is still pooping, but there are 3 marble sized knots in that area ... I’ve given Epsom Baths - 3 days now. I gave her a Dawn Bath this morning, because I believe it’s an infection - impacted food? Any help would be greatly appreciated. We have no...

Hey guys and gals, I have 6 different breed chicks, the largest out of the bunch has been growing like wildfire, I had no idea about pasty butt and ended up cleaning off all chicks 4 days ago. Noticed the bigger chicks stomach was really drooping below vent. Cleaned her spotless and it's only...

My gander Parsnip hasn’t willingly eaten anything besides his favorite treats (blueberries, grapes) in the last two weeks. His digestion has been slow so I know he was constipated though I didn’t know if it was because of a partial blockage, inflammation, or another issue. The last few days he’s...

I know there are several other threads regarding these issues but I just need some support for this specific case. I have a week old chick my hen hatched out, I'm unsure of the breed bc my green wasn't sitting on her own eggs but for sure the rooster is ameracauna. She was born with curly toes...

My week old bobwhite is constipated so much that her colon is sticking out. She tries to poop, but its painful for her and nothing comes out. What can I do to help her?

My 4-5ish year old hen Grapes has recently been kinda off. (Everyone else in the flock is fine) She doesn't have an appetite and seems kinda sad. We think she might be constipated because when she poops it comes out like the regular white part of poop without the solid. She has nothing in her...

My chick is really constipated how can I help her poo?
