It does seem to only be the meat birds (which are already over twice the size of the others!) They really all seem to act fine I guess it is more cosmetic than any real isue? Should I try to clean them up or just leave them alone?

I had 3 with pasty butt issues...I stayed on top of that and they seem fine now. Lots of reading about pasty butt none on dirty or pasty belly. The bedding is a mix of shreaded newspaper and pine shavings.

I will post tonight thank you for responding.

I am new to chickens... just got my first 25 birds(meat-n-eggs combo from Mcmurrays) They are 1 week old and all seem to be very active and healthy except most seem to have messy bellies- some look a bit irritated and red. I think I have provided them ample space and have changed the bedding...
