Chick constipated BADLY !!

[Chickababie01]

My chick is really constipated how can I help her poo?

Give her oil. Mineral oil or coconut oil or olive oil. About a half teaspoon.

Coconut oil is the easiest to give and often a chick will eat it on their own if you offer it in tiny pieces. Or you can pry the beak open and place the tiny bits of solid coconut oil on the tongue and the chick will automatically swallow.

Use some of the oil to lubricate that swollen vent.

Yes he is and I’m doing everything in my power to help it survive , he’s active even through his little messed up leg and it’s just his pasty butt and i can’t cure him I don’t know if I’m doing anything right
