Advice needed for chick

You might try giving the coconut oil as well anyway, for a day or two. If she's not eating and drinking well, then dehydration may be a factor in causing the pushing so hard to poop, and constipation may still be giving it issues. If things are moving more normally then it may help with appetite. If she is smaller than the other, then there may be more issues that are not obvious (if they are different breeds then that could account for size also). Not much you can do but provide support and see how she does over time. The vitamins will not hurt anything, and may help. But if she's having digestive absorption issues, there is nothing that you can do for that.

Thank you. I have spoken to someone else on here who said it sounds like a nutrition issue rather than a digestive one because her crop is not impacted/sour. I also found the ingredients for the drops (attached)

It's very similar to nutri drench. I don't see thiamine or riboflavin, and those are very common issues for deficiencies in birds. The B complex will take care of that. Sometimes with deficiencies you have to give much higher amounts to reverse the deficiencies, and then the bird can maintain them. Weird neuromuscular symptoms are really common with those deficiencies also. I've had birds look drunk and stumble around during molt when not eating well, and a couple of doses of B complex they are back to normal. It won't hurt anything if there is no deficiency, but may make a big difference if there is.
