I have (2) 3yr old Rocks that one is walking with legs wide apart, paste butt, not too interested in food, she keeps moving her rear end like she is pushing, fluffed feathers, and her belly is soft and mushy like water belly. Her poop has been thick green and white but yesterday the white...
Hello All,
First time chick-mom here. I have four new chicks, 2 Maran Cuckoos and 2 Ameracaunas and they all seem to be in good spirits and good health. I observe them playing with one another, cuddling, eating a lot, drinking a lot. They all seem active and healthy, except ones vent. One of...
So I had six Silkie chicks and they've had pasty but that won't go away. I've switched their food, given nutri-drench, and even fed them mash but nothing works. They show no other symptoms until right before they die. They start gasping for breath and eventually pass out and die. This happens...

I posted on the Emergencies forum, but I figured I'd XP here as well.
Short story: I'm a new chick mom, hatched 3 myself, but 1 had a harder/longer hatch. They are a mixed flock and...
Hi, I'm new to raising chicks. I have a 5 day old chick. She/he (not sure which yet) is standing up, eyes closed, and chirping. I've given her/him some normal and electro light water and she/he has been eating. She/he hasn't pooped in couple of hours. She/he used to be with two other chicks but...

I just want to say before since I did not check sooner: this is my first time doing chicks without parents help!! I did not know to check because we have never had this issue before.
I picked up chicks from tractor supply on Thursday. one of the chicks would sit and chirp a LOT. I check on...
HI All,
I received 10 chicks on Wednesday and they were fine. Thursday, no issues to speak of. Friday three of them had pasty butt but I was able to clean it off but one of the three, in particular, had it pretty bad. Friday, the same three and the one, again, had it pretty bad. I tried to be...
So out of my new chicks I got from TSC, one has pasty butt. I cleared the poop out from her vent and got it out of her down, but I’m still worried about her. She keeps picking at her butt and so do the other chicks. I did just see her poop for the first time since clearing it up though! That’s...
I have a 2 week old seabright who until today has been thriving well.
He has been chirping his head off all day, appearing to be in distress. He also has a soft white creamy substance bellow his vent. It is easy to wipe clean, butt comes right back. He has had more loose stools than usual. And...
Last week I purchased 12 day old chicks from my local feed store. One of them wasn't growing as fast as the others and kept getting paste butt. When I checked on them yesterday evening she was dead. I figured it was some kind of intestinal abnormality and wasn't worried about it. However, this...
