Help! A poopless peep?

Post by MisterGribs » Wed Apr 19, 2017 1:16 am

Had a baby coturnix hatch out last night, but hasn't pooped in 24 hours. No pasty butt, eating and drinking ok! Feeding a high protein feed with egg and dry roasted, ground mealworm. Brooder temp ranges between about 102 to 85 from hot end to cold, low humidity. Otherwise happy, active chick!

Everything's all right! We finally got Happy to poop. Electrolytes and more fat content in the food was what was missing.

Everything turned out all right in the end!
