pasty butt

Hello! I just adopted 5 chicks and one has pasty butt. Only the one has it so far and I've had the chicks about 5 hours. I read that they may need additional grit with there food to aid digestion. I did some research and repeatedly saw cornmeal being fed to chicks in place of store bought grit...

Warning! Long post I apologize ahead of time. Hi, I am looking for anyone with advice or experience with hatching chicks naturally by mom but ended up with a chick having pasty butt and then almost dying but brought back to life. My serama hen hatched out 4 babies last Wednesday. All hatched...

I made a pop in visit a few days in a row to my local Tractor Supply. I went in originally to purchase new chicks, but when I saw the conditions I started making pop ins to check on all the babies. Tonight I ended up being given a few very weak guinea keets, because the employees didn't know...

Hi! This is my first post on byc. I have a days-old female appezeller chick I'm a little worried about. I bought her from Freehling Farms in Kittaning PA two days ago. She had a little bit of poop stuck on her vent, but I gently cleaned it off. There was also a trace amount of dried blood the...

Hey all, So one of our Easter Eggers has a frozen ball of poop on her feathers. It’s getting bigger and bigger and the weather here in Northern MN has been in the negatives the past couple days. We are thinking of bring her inside tonight to let the poop thaw out and hopefully fall off and...

One of my chicks has had very minor pasty butt. When I cleaned off the vent today, I noticed that there is a hard bump about a centimeter down from the vent. Is this normal? The other chicks don’t seem to have it, though it’s hard to tell because I have only soaked the one chick’s rear. She also...

Hi BYC Community, My name is Jacqui Myers and I am new to chickens. I currently have fifteen 16-week old chickens and twenty-four 9-week old Guineas. I have a Silkie, a few Rhode Island Reds, some Lace Wyandotte’s, a California Gray, a Light Brahma, a few Bantams, and the rest I think are a mix...

Good morning. My little chick “Roo” is very lethargic today and will hardly pick at his food. His crop is empty/squishy compared to my other chicks, he has a poopy butt, and he is wobbly on his feet with low-hanging wings. Any ideas of what could be wrong and what I can do to help?

For 2 days now my baby chick butt has been sticking and fulling with poop. No matter how many times I've cleaned it off, it keeps coming back and the chick is getting weaker? What can I do? Is it already too late for the chick to survive? I've cleaned it just now and he's sitting and closing...

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...

Good evening, everyone. I hope you're all well! Tonight I was thinking about my little girls as I usually do before sleep, and I had a thought. So, two of my girls look like they could benefit from some posterior maintenance. Their vents are clear to poop from, but they still have a little...

I recently became a baby chick mom and got one cockerel (Stanley) along with four pullets. They’re all about 1-3 weeks old and have had a pretty good transition into their new brood. But I’ve noticed that Stanley has a case of pasty butt, I’m not sure wether it was because of the stress he was...

this is my second hatch, things went overall quite well, my chicks are now 2 days old and I’m concerned about the vent on one, I thought it was just pasty butt yesterday, however on cleaning it again today I noticed I can’t find the actual vent? today I also noticed it’s a little lethargic. The...

Hi, I have a week old chick. The chick has pasty butt and every time I wash its vent off it becomes clogged again. I've heard that apple cider vinegar helps with this, but you're supposed to put it in the chicks water and I already have Corid in my chicks water. Is it ok to have both Corid and...

I have two 4 day old chinese goslings. They seem to be healthy and act normally (in my opinion) and to be happy. This is my first time with goslings and i’m terrified that something will happen to them. Earlier today i noticed some poop hanging out of one of them so i gave them both a bath and...

So our local farm and feed store told me my chicks are a week old, at most. I have 2 Buff Orps, a Gold-laced Wyandotte, and a Black Australian. First question. They don’t seem to want 95 degrees. But really, I don’t know. I brought them home after five, got them settled, then was busy making...

I got a new batch of chicks and one of them has this hard poop looking stuff near their bum and i could use some advice on what it is.

I have a polish chick that is about a month old. She got pasty butt a few weeks ago that I thought I treated. Her vent is now swollen and gets “clogged” fairly easily but it’s not pasty butt. She’s in the house so that I can keep it clean. I’ve been rinsing it with warm water and applying...
