I have a chick that I treated for pasty butt, she has poop around her butt agaib but not actually covering her vent. Should I remove it or just keep on eye on it and treat it if it actually covers the vent?

heres some pics without the red light. I called the store and the guy was no help just kept saying it's 96% accurate sexing and told me to let him know if it turns out to be a roo. They're from freys hatchery.

Hi! I figured I'd share the recipe for my chickens favorite treats! I call them chicken cakes and they go crazy for them. They're really good for rewards when training, getting them used to your call, or just for happy chickens So I don't use exact measurements but the main base is flour and...
