You can wash the chicks bum and but vaseline on it's bum. It will help the poo slide off.

What are you feeding? How old? If the poop can not come out normally in causes a blockage. Inturn causing pain.

baby chick starter and she is almost 2 weeks old she poops but it taks a lot longer will she die and if it is blockage wath can i do to fix it

 

[katrinag]

You need to keep her bum clean. You may have to wash her many times. I have yet to have a chick die from it. It usually fixes itself in a coule days.
How long has this been going on/

 

[ameraucanacrazy]

2 days this is the second day

Your post is a little confusing. In your first post you state that it is NOT blocking the chicks vent: 'not on the part that the poop comes out.' If her vent is not blocked, just having some poo on her rump should not be causing her any problems/pain.

she make these weird sounds and she is the only one doing it out of 50 and it takes longer for the poo to come out of her bum
