Give it a week or two

I figured it was something like that, thank you for replying

Alright, so I've heard your supposed to give your constipated chicks coconut oil, and i got the more paste like kind, am I supposed to freeze it or something? I heard your supposed to give them "chunks" of it but I couldn't find any oil like that.

Update, she passed away in my hands, it wasn't from Pasty Butt, I think it was failure to thrive, I wish there had been something I could have done.

Welcome!! Nobody's gonna tease you for loving ducks lol. I'm actually thinking about getting ducklings later this year or next year, not confirmed though.

Welcome! I have the same obsession with weird colored eggs lol.

I'm still kinda new to chicken keeping so take everything I say with a grain of salt, but if I had to guess number 1 is probably a hen and number 2 MIGHT be a roo, some hens just develop faster. You'll probably be able to tell by 10 weeks, by then most roosters have crowed.

Those poor ducklings!

Welcome!!

I hope that works out!

I have a problem kinda like this with my 4 day old chick. The swelling is moderate and I have been being more gentle when cleaning her vent, should I also give her coconut oil even though that seems to be working?

Any updates?

I know this is a old thread, but how I tend to clean pasty butt is by getting a bowl of warm water, dipping my finger in it, and massaging their bum. (If that grosses you out, use a q tip) after getting all the poop off put a LITTLE bit of Vaseline, not enough so that it is in a clump, literally...

Thank you so much for sharing this! You seriously just saved my chick's life.

Thank you for your input!

I vote Golden Laced Wyandotte, that little one looks just like my Gold Laced did when she was little.

For reference, this is the "Boss Chicken" as one would call her. She often picks on my little bantam rooster.
