Hi, one of my 4 week old buff orpington chicks is having a behind problem. About a week ago, it was pasted up, and was raw and red and missing feathers there. I saw it peck at its behind to try to get the poop off. I cleaned it up really well and have been keeping it really clean all week, but it is still having trouble going. It is all swollen and firm around the hole and all that will come out is a little bit of white liquid. When it tries to go, it squats and makes a lot of noise like it is really struggling, and nothing comes out. All it has eaten is chick starter and maybe a dandelion, no other treats. Is there something I can give it to relieve its constipation?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
