Pasty butt + Wobbling and falling over. Chick. What to do??

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

Cleaning pasty butt contantly from two silike chicks. Also wobbly and one is falling over and has what looks like an eye infection or irriation of some sort.

 

Have tried "

 

Washing the eye out - this helped but not completely.

 

Sugar water

 

washing butts all the time.

 

 

Is there anything else I can do that will help them pull through it?? Out of 6, two are having this issue.

Silkies : Blue, Black, Splash, White, Buff.

 

D'anver : Blue Quail, Porcelain, Mille, Quail, Silver Quail, Blue Silver Quail.

I now use dirt for the chicks first brooder life. Just plain dirt is the best. It has little chick sized sand in it. You can use sand also in their feed. The wobbliness is like a sign of Marek's. A picture of the chicks could help also. 

 

It's the shape that makes the breed, and the color that makes the variety.
