Constipated Chicken, What to do?

Date sort Score sort
Oh wow. This happened quickly. Her abdomen is really large! I'm already thinking I need to put her down since it has to be really painful. I think I will give her molasses, and try an oil enema. I really suspect she's laying internally, but since that is a death sentence I might as well try. Thank you for answering.
 
Sorry, I updated my other post, forgot about this one. It was Salpngitis, I put her down last week. Huge mass of hard light yellow stuff in there. THanks for checking in,.
 
I know this is an older thread but what if it is not a full grown chicken. I have a little on who is yet to poop and it is at least 3 days. Only eats soft food from my hand and won't open eyes and cries so much. It's belly is a little hard so I do not know what to do.
 
How would I treat constipation in a chick, 3 weeks?
I think that is what is going on, their vent is protruding and then keep squatting to go without passing anything. Still eating and drinking.
