fermented feed, and give them a plug of sod from the yard. Too much heat can be a cause. Using a heating pad brooder will eliminate that issue.

Make sure your brooder isn't too hot.

Feed a boiled smashed egg. If the egg helps, you might need to change feeds.

I haven't tried it and hate to pass on bad info, but just for discussion... it's my understanding that molasses can have a laxative effect.

One of the things I think is key though is getting the original build up off so more stuff doesn't just keep sticking to it. Some people will use vaseline on the area if it's a recurring problem. I have done this and it did help.
