Is her vent clogged? It's called pastie butt. You take a warm wet paper towel and gently clean her vent area but make sure you dry her after word so she doesn't get chilled. Also pedialyte or sav a chick in their water will help!

We've washed her a couple of times, she will poop a little and then stand and strain again and again, one thread said to give her a drop of olive oil, so I did that. The vent is not plugged. I also gave her a vitamin drop and extra water with the dropper. I'll try the pedialyte also...

Mr Jim Heinz has this suggestion

A really warm wet cloth held over the vent helps on other animals. It might work for chicks too.

It can't hurt to try. With such delicate little babies it is hard to figure out what is wrong sometimes

I had the same problem with my first hatch, but everyone here has pretty much covered what I did, and she ended up fine. Just keep trying!

Well the chick with pasty butt is still having probs and I think it may be internal.. the olive oil helped her poop but she continues to clog repeatedly... In between she stands and strains and chirps so loudly.... she looks like it hurts her to sit and falls asleep standing up or until she just collapses .... I even put a little olive oil on her butt with a q-tip just because I thought she is sore. Last night I just cuddled her while watching tv and she just slept.. The other one is not getting better either... I'm afraid I will have to cull both of them and have been reading everything I can on the most humane way.....

I am sorry - it is hard

It is for their best

Cuddle them then give them peace

I used baking soda and vinegar - I am sorry for your pain!!!!
