Small, dry droppings from my two week old Brahma... is this normal?

[simpleliving]

Hello - I have noticed the last day or two that my little 2 week old Brahma is having really small droppings that appear almost dry when they come out. This is different than normal for her and my other 3 chicks. Could she be constipated? And if so, what can I do to help her?

Thanks so much!

WATER!!

Be certain she is drinking, use a dropper if you have to.

Well if she is constipated you need to make her drink water.
If she hasn't got the hand of it yet dip her beak into the waterer and they learn where the water is.

A small amount of molasses in the water will do two things, it will help with the constipation anyways, and the flavor makes the chickies want to drink more. Mix it so it looks like a weak tea.
