    Pasty butt

    Anyway to prevent baby chicks from getting pasty butt? I was going to get some chicks about a week old but I realized a lot of them that young seem to get it so I guess I'll wait and get some older.

    Anyone like the brinsea brooder plate?

    I hate it and a won't use it for chicks under 2 weeks old. Couldn't control pasty butt in my chicks. Never had that problem with heat lamps. Than I realised their drinking water wasn't staying warm like baby chicks need it to be..went back to heat lamps for first 2 weeks. No more pasty butt.

    Hi all, I got my first ever chicks and one of them has pasty butt. I read on how to move the poop to open the vent again, but it seems when I gently rub with a towel it only temporarily solves the problem.. until she poops again, clogging herself up. How do I get rid of all this excess poo...
