A small problem

[HippieMom]

I hope its just a small problem anyway. I have 2 baby chickens (probly like 2 weeks old, maybe less) and one of them had crud stuck to its behind. I soaked it off and its all clean now. But is this something I should be worried about?

It is called pasty butt. It is common among baby chicks. There is nothing to be worried about unless it is not removed. All my chicks had this at one point or another.

Thank you! That makes me feel better.
