he cant eat by himself i have to force feed him and he hasnt pooed all day there apears to be a small blood bubble or something blocking it what do i do??

It sounds like what my chick has..pasty butt. I've read adding ground oatmeal to their feed and apple cider vinegar to their water should help the constipation. And probiotics. I wish I knew this a few days ago though because mine is a goner. Hope you get some replies, I've had no luck here with information.

Maybe go to your local feed store and see what they say.

Best of luck to you and your chick.

well everyone i have some bad news.... despite all of my attempts to nurse him back to health and all of the help that everyone on here gave me my little guy just didnt make it

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Was he just hatched? It's possible he had a physical deformity that was causing him not to be able to poop.

In any case, I'm terribly sorry.
