Pasty Butt vs a Little Poop on the Behind

[SandyRiverChick]

Only one has this issue the other 3 are fine so far. I have zero idea why.

Any chance it's to hot in the brooder?

Could be. We moved the light a bit to give them more of a defined cool and warm area

The more "cool option," you provide the fewer cases of pasty butt you're going to be dealing with. How old?

Less than a week old

Awesome brooder set up!
I also get as much of the poop off I can and then put Vaseline on their butts so the poo slips off and doesn’t stick to their butts anymore.

Does that work miss

I have a chick I have to clean every day

Is it safe to use

Yes! It’s the same as putting it on a babies behind! that would help, just apply when you notice the poop starting to collect again.
