Okay, here's hoping everything is okay. My son got a hold of one of the tiny ones and squeezed it a little. It cheeped and scared him and he let it go. It's running around acting fine, when would I know something was wrong?

Okay, one of the three-day old chicks has a poop on her bum… And I can't get it off when I wash it. I don't want to be too rough with her, but the poop won't come off. Am I doing something wrong?

 

[JustAileen]

Got it! Man, that stuff is like glue!

The baby I bought from the feed store came with pasty butt. I just rinsed with warm water and picked at it until it came off. Thankfully, it never returned.
