Hey everyone. We had 3 chicks hatch on Tuesday from an incubator. One had a bit of shell stuck to its back and wing. A bit like a hunchbacked tortoise.
It’s weaker and smaller than the other 2 chicks so I am trying to nurse it back to health. These are my fathers hobby but I do all the sad...
Hey everyone,
Any info would be really appreciated, we really love our Lemon already :( She is about 2 weeks old, and hasn’t grown like the other chicks. Well not at all, really!
She also has been lethargic but still managing to drink and eat. Has been getting ‘pasty butt’ I think as well. I’ve...
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...
Hello this chick is just about two weeks old, she is having pasty butt since about 3 days ago. I attached some picture of her and her stool. Can anyone give me some suggestion?
Thank you so much!
Hi everyone-I’ve been using your advice for coop designs, hatching chicks, and now raising babies - so I figured I should stop lurking and just join already. I am brand new to this. I have two 3 day old Mille fleur chicks (out of a batch of 8 bought on eBay). Thank goodness 2 hatched, but now...
Hi everyone!
So I just brought home 6 chicks from TSC and at first they were doing great! Eating, drinking, etc. we found one to have pasty butt, and we quickly cleared all of the discharge, but now she’s still acting off.
When we disturb the brooder, she stays still. She acts lethargic, won’t...
Hello, I am now the owner of 5 chicks. theyre estimated about 2.5-3 weeks old. All of their little butts were fluffy until I noticed a few days ago that one of our chicks, Wynona, has what looks to be pasty butt. Wynona had previosuly been chirping loudly almost non-stop for a few days and some...
hi.
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...
4 day old chick was fine yesterday and today was laying on its side. It had pasty butt. I cleaned it and gave it sugar water. It keeps moving its vent, but doesn’t poop. I sat it in Epsom salt water. No luck. It’s belly is so full, it can’t stand up. Any other suggestions?
