    My silkies keep getting pasty butt

    I've raised baby silkies twice now and both times I've had to deal with pasty butt. Their butts are so fluffy that they accumulate poop until it blocks their vents and I have to bathe them regularly or trim their butt feathers which is difficult on a small bird and I always worry about cutting...

    Vent washing

    So how often should I be washing poo off my babies’ vents if there is buildup? Should I give it a day or so to try and fall off on its own or wash them daily if needed? Don’t wanna lose any to complications from pasty butt... Also, not all are getting it, only like 2.

    Chicks with pasty butt

    I received 9 chicks from a hatchery, arrived USPS. After I brought them home they had super runny poops, and a few had developed pasty butt. I cleaned them up, and set them back in the brooder. They all started eating and drinking immediately. They seemed healthy, and lively. The next day they...
