    Pasty butt- Silkies

    I have 5 silkies chicks that I bought from Rural King last Friday. I’m guessing they were a few days old when I’ve purchased them. Anyways, they have all had pasty butt nearly every day. It’s not super bad, but I’ve been having to clean their little butts twice a day. Some of them have crushed...

    Featherless bum?

    I purchased four Easter egger pullets from Tractor Supply about two weeks ago. One of them doesn't have any feathers on her little black bum. Should I be worried, or is this normal for this type of chicken? Is it maybe pasty butt?

    Six Day Old Chick- Lethargic, dying.

    Hi everyone- I know this is not the first post about a lethargic chick- but I can’t quite get an answer anywhere. My 6 day old barred rock chick (by characteristics I’ve sexed her as female) is likely not going to make it. This isn’t my first time raising chicks but I’ve changed just about...

    Pasty Butt Fixed?

    I found one of my chicks with pasty butt this morning. They are 4 days old and were shipped in the mail. The chick itself is acting well, eating a lot, climbing on top of the Brisnea brooder, drinking regularly so I assume I caught it very early on. I got warm water and a wash cloth and got as...

    Easter Egger or Cream Legbar? Also, is there a thing such as "Runny Butt?"

    Hello! No longer on the sidelines, we're chicken owners now, yeah! We got our chicks from TSC which, I understand, can be sort of a mixed bag. The brooder we picked our Easter Eggers from also had Cream Legbars and Lavender Orpingtons. We pointed out the chicks we wanted, my kids gave each one...
