Constipated 4 week old baby chick

Suspect ist a combination of "failure to thrive" with a subpar feed, aggravated by calcium blocking uptake further. Though that's not necessarily the cause of the constipation, its certainly a source of struggle

Thank you for the information.

The chick is thriving now. The chick was really easy to identify before because it clearly looked weaker, smaller and sickly but not anymore!

Glad for the positive change in outlook.

This works for us. I think sometimes stress brings it on. For one chick, while he was in the water he pooped twice, finally able to release.
