Need a laxative for baby chick ASAP

[teebo]

my 2 week old silkie chick has trouble trying to poo,i need something that will help it pass its poop without straining so much???????????

 

[crtrlovr]

try adding a tsp. of corn syrup (white clear, like Karo clear syrup) or molasses per pint of water, or 1 Tbsp. per quart

 

[Glenda L Heywood]

THE BEST METHOD IS THIS
1 CUP OF PLAYSCHOOL SAND ADDED TO 1 GALLON OF THE CHICK FEED

FEED THIS TILL CHICKS ARE REGULATED
AND NO IT IS NOT A GRIT

I would also do this

THIS IS FOR YOUR CHICKS NOW
but now you have a difficient gut problem with the E.coli
and it needs to have the Vitamin E put in the wet mash probiotic to help the E.coli gut problem
do this

now the
natural probiotic recipe is is:
1/2 qt of dry crumbles
3/4 QT of milk, sweet, sour, or buttermilk or a mixture of all or some
1/4 cup of non flavored yoguart ( no artificial sweetmer)
mix good
YOU CAN ADD LAST ON TOP OF WET MASH
1/4 CUP OF APPLE SAUCE AS THEY WILL EAT THAT GOOD

NOW THE IMPORTANT INGRIEDIENT FOR EACH CHICK FED
and add 1- 1000 mg of Vit E by cutting the end off the vit E capsule for each chick fed this wet mash
putting it in the wet mash

this for each chick your treating
so for each chick use 2 tsp of mixture and 1-1000 mg of Vit E

twice a day for them till the manure is solid

and feed each chick
2 tsp full of the wet mash probiotic and what they will clean up in 20-30 minutes
then clean wet feeders and restock dry crumbles

do this twice a day for a week
till the chicks manure is right
then quit the Vit E make just the wet mash probiotic
then once a week for life

All the while after mdicating the birds use ACV IN THE WATER
do not use ACV with medication


2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar per gallon of the chicken water so their gut flora wil be regulated they should have this at least 3-5 days a week
then three days aweek after they are over coccidiosis


the vit's are neccessary to clean up the damaged gut problem
email me any questions so you are not confused

It may not be straining because it actually needs to poo, but because it's having diarrhea - in which case you wouldn't want to use a laxative.

When it does poop, what are its droppings like?
