    When to treat a chick for pasty butt

    I just got my chicks in the mail about an hour ago and a couple have pasty butt. Should I treat this now or let them settle in first for a little bit? I don’t want to add more stress, but I know it can be fatal to a young chick. They all seem to be doing very well. Eating, drinking and being chicks!

    Chick’s Poop

    Should I be worried about this? I’m not sure if I’ve seen a solid poop from this little one yet. It behaves normally and eats, drinks and is active. It’s 5 days old. It has had pasty butt a couple of times. I have added a little ACV to their water.

    Pasty Butt turned extra bad? Swollen vent; Chick struggling to pass poop?

    Hi, we are new chicken people and need some advice from those of you who are experienced. We have a 2 week old silkie, Sylvie.

    I am extremely new to this, and my smallest chick has pasty butt. She's a very nervous little baby and so afraid of being picked up. I cleaned her up earlier and put olive oil on her vent. How should I be giving them their grit? Should I be mixing it with their food or putting it in a...

    Lopsided chick

    I bought 6 americana chicks. One of them seems to have splay leg and chronic pasty butt. I have made a hobble for the leg and check on her frequently for the pasty but. But I have noticed her vent is off center it seems to be because one side of her abdomen is swollen. Has anyone else had this...
