She is pooping on her own multiple times between baths. They are still firm, though. Should I keep giving her epsom salt baths? Should I keep giving her olive oil? (I'm not giving her more that half a teaspoon a day. I know it is supposed to be a whole teaspoon, but I don't want to give her too...

Okay. We've never done given them grit if their inside, but I wanted to double check. Thank you! I've been feeding her wet chicken food along with some yogurt. She loves it.

Since currently the best option for me is to feed her adult food, should I give her grit? Will sand work since that's what my broody-raised chicks have?

She just pooped on her own an hour and a half after her bath. Now she is eating for the first time since I brought her home. She is making "bubble noises", the noise the that chicks make when they are happy. (Or at least, that's what we call it. It kind of sounds like when you put a bottle...

She has pooped a 3rd time. (She might have done one last night, but I don't know.) Her belly isn't as firm either.

Money is tight right now. That is one reason why I am doing layer feed instead of chick feed. Another reason is that when a mother hen has her babies outside all day, you can't control the percentage of protein or calcium they are getting. My broody-hen-raised chicks have always been bigger and...

I've done it that way for a few years and never had problems. I will change it if I continue having issues.

I just brought her home. She was eating chick food, but I always feed mine layer feed (and supplement the protein), I don't know if she ate anything when she came home. She has not been outside yet. At the store they were not offering her grit. I don't bother with grit, because I free range the...

She has pooped a couple times after her bath, but I still would like to know the answers to my questions.

I forgot to mention, she is not peeping any more than her roomates. EDIT: Maybe she is peeping a bit more, but it's hard to tell. I just brought her home, so she might just be louder

I have a chick with a firm belly and a protruding vent. I'm guessing constipation. I'm going to give her olive oil and an epsom salt bath or two. I'm thinking about putting vaseline on a q-tip and putting it in her vent very carefully and not very far in. Any thoughts on this idea? Anything else...
