For you who haven’t seen my other thread, one OEGB chick hatched, with more still alive!

Is that the one you assisted?

I have a Bantam Silkie hen who is constipated, & prolapses when straining. So I'm going to give her some molasses tomorrow to relieve her constipation.

I added alittle bit of Nutridrench in the water since molasses is in the ingredients just to assist her while I'm away, & to give everyone a vitamin boost.

I checked her for an egg just in case she was egg bound, but no egg. Just a bad case of constipation.

Is that the one you assisted?

Yup, the shell is still kind of attached to its butt.

Nice. It'll come off.

Maybe a good spot for a chicken sling?

You cut holes for legs as well as a poop hole
@Wyorp Rock may know if this is a good situation for one, I'm not sure

yeah I tried a smaller one and she flopped out but that one looks way better

she now has 1 bootie (foot taped to cardboard with toes spread properly) to help her stand

considering doing the other one too

If the bootie is helpful then do another!

Might be worth a try.
