I’ve got 2 week old chicks and they have stuck poop. It’s not pasty butt, spent the first week dealing with that, now I got 3 of the 28 that can’t seem to poop. They push and push and only a little comes out. Their rectum protrudes fairly far out when trying to poop. I have only fed them starter feed and some egg yolk to help with the pasty butt issue. Oddly enough all 3 are Rhode Island reds. I’ve helped one get some out, and I also tried to get a bit of coconut oil in them as suggested by a person on here. I’ve also put a dab of olive oil on their butts to help it slide which I also read on here. None of these recommendations seem to work. Feeling a bit helpless here.
