I have a 1.5 week old chick who had mild pasty butt that I cleaned away and blow dried most days but then this week she seemed to become extremely constipated, crying out in pain and straining her vent to try to poop. Her vent ended up slightly prolapsing with her effort of pushing so last night I gave her coconut oil, a warm soak, and lubed up her vent and helped her pass lots of drier poops. I made sure she drank lots of water too. She seemed feel a lot better after a couple hours and even passed some poop on her own without crying.
I dried her off and put her back with my 4 other chicks in the brooder last night and woke up to this poop. Is this cause for concern? I read it could be worms or just intestinal shedding. I do not know which chick it is from since they were all together last night. Please help, Im a first time chicken owner and very stressed out after last night! TIA!
