Hi all!! I am brand new to the chicken raising world. I received 25 chix from MMH. I have 3 that have "sore butts" (for lack of a better word) I thought it was pasty butts and it was irratated from that. I have been cleaning them like 3 times a day and putting Neosporin with pain relief 
on their little bums. Could it be mites? They are picking at their wings and tail feathers and I was not sure if that was because they were stressed from their butts hurtin? Can I out the Slevin or Sevin stuff (??) on them with there sore butts? under the tail feathers? How long does it take them to heal? They are eating and drinking still, BUT they will not lay down to sleep. They sleep standing, and I noticed my healthy ones sleep flat out. Can anyone tell me what I can do and get these 3 out of the "sick box" and out into freedom with the others? Thanks!!
