A free-feed dining option is the best and most common in backyard flocks, one in which chickens eat in small increments at their leisure throughout the day. Chickens have a unique digestive system that can accommodate only a small amount of food at a time in their crops.
If you have trouble with your bowel movements for more than two weeks, you should see your doctor. He or she may ask for these tests to find the cause of your constipation: 1  Blood tests to check on hormone levels. 2  Barium studies to look for any blockages in your colon.
Two days, while longer than you should have in between, is nothing to be worried about on its own. After 4 days or so, if she still hasn't gone, she can try a laxative. If she lasts a week, it's time to see the doctor, because there could be something wrong. My last bowel movement was Monday August 5th!!
