I know it has been a long time, but I want to thank everyone who helped me in this very stressful situation. I know it seems dumb that I was freaking out so much, but these chickens mean a lot to me and I love them to death (but please don't think of me as the crazy chicken lady, although I kind...

Yah sorry about that. I know losing a chick can be kinda painful. My friend recently lost 3 of 4 and I have lost 4 of 10.

I've just been running their bums under some warm water, then putting some paper towels down in a large basin. After I've cleaned the poo, I put them in the basin and take a blow dryer and, as they lay down, I carefully blow dry them off. It is working out really well and hopefully I will post a...

Off to clean a bit more pasty butt--but not NEARLY as bad as my little Arrow's.

So tonight I got home and I had someone help me clean Arrow (that's the chick's name) 's butt. Now he (yes, it is a cockerel baby) is very clean and beautiful and not so unpleasant to look at. He probably feels like a million bucks right now even though his cleaning process was not very fun for...

So true!

Do you just hold them down as they sit in the water or do you dip only their butts in and hold them there?

You know how I feel!

Thx!!!

I'm sure this all would be a lot easier if the chick that has pasty butt a. wasn't a bantam and b. wasn't so squirmy and feisty!

Thank you for the luck, this is very stressful for me since I am a first-timer. I have some ACV, but some people say it needs to be "with the mother". What does that mean? Because I don't think I have ACV "with the mother"... I can always go get some though.

Sigh. Another one got pasty butt and it was just like me to pull fluff off of that one too. Now I have two little chicks picking at their butts. Ugh.

Thank you so much! I will leave an update on how he is doing later...

Oh no! The one that I put under the running water earlier has dry poop all around her vent. If you lift the fluff a bit, Yo can see a patch of skin around her vent, too. I put some olive oil around he butt since the poop technically isn't actually in the vent. When I came out, there was a bit of...

Ok thx I will get right to work!

Also, will ACV work?

Oh, yes. I have probiotics in their water.

Oh my goodness thank you so much! I just feel bad when they get wet and I can't dry it completely. They peep so much and sometimes their feet get wet and sometimes their backs get wet, too! Does that affect them?

I have 6 cochin bantam chicks and 2 of them have pasty butt. I ran warm water over the first one's butt, then tried to get it off but I accidentally pulled off some of her fluff! So, I set her under the heat lamp to dry. Then, I tried the next one by dunking her butt in a basin of warm water...
