Pasty Butt

This is really important topic so good call for starting the article. I think it needs more detail even though it's good that you have an actual picture of the issue. Even google has alot more to say about causes and mitigations so add more detail and pics to improve it as it's a great start. Also, be careful at suggesting to pull on the poo, add cautions around this so that it is not confused with umbilical cord.

Pretty much exactly what to do. I mostly see it on Feed store chicks or chicks introduced to adventurous foods too early. It’s not hard to cure

Thanks. Only two of my new chicks have pasty butt. Both are Australorp and very small compared to my Easter Eggers and ISA Browns… 7-9 days old…

You should include some causes, more pics, details, etc. But what you have is good.
I really like where you're going with this article! Including other common causes as well as some other methods to help remove the troublesome poo would be great! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Good article!
Adding more information on treating and preventing pasty butt would make the article beter
