I got a baby chick like 2 or 3 weeks ago. And my one chick has a red butt hole that looks like a grape!
She is constipated so its hard for her to go to the bathroom. What could prevent this and how do I get it to stop???
PLEASE HELP!
I gave her some yogurt and ran her butt under warm water. Do I have to separate her from the other chick?
Also someone told me she could be dehydrated, so I put there lamp light higher so its not to hot....




WHAT DO I DO??I NEED HELP!!!!

check if there is poop stuck to its butt if there is try wetting it an puling it off
 
no it wont hurt it. but a carefull as possible that happend to one of my chicks who is now a rooster and he lived. in some cases a chick could die of constipation
 
Yea my chick had the same issue.once i got the poop off stuck to its butt it was alot better and never happened again.....atleast not yet.it doesnt hurt aslong as you are super gentle.i held my chicks bottom under the sink and took a q-tip to the poop.it took a little while but with some patients you will surely get it off.
 
How old? also has its butt always looked like that, because sometimes that happens when they are getting out of the egg, for more info on why it happens PM me

She is like 3 weeks old. Would it have anything to do with her living conditions? I just moved them into
our garage today...
