14 week old white silkie with Pasty butt Help.

[jjhuntsalot]

Three days ago found my 14 week old white silkie laying listless on the ground with one legg stretch out and stiff. He also had poop stuck to his butt. I took him and cleaned all of it off in warm water then placed him in a secluded place in the run. The next day he was back to his old self with a clean rump. This morning I found him listless again in the corner with pasty butt again. I've seen on here others talk about pasty but but I don't know what to do for him other than clean him up. Help!!!

one leg in front and one in back is a typical posture indicating Mereks.
Try offering a live culture yogurt free choice.

I woke up this morning and he was dead. If it was mareks will others catch it?

I suggest you use the search function here as there are SEVERAL threads on this subject many with several excellent articles explaining mareks.
Whenever you have a bird die it is a good idea to get a proper necropsy (which is the only way to get any kind of resolution on what the bird actually died of).
