Am I over mothering these chicks/pasty butt

[Panhandle chick]

I have 20 black star chicks- I think they are 2 weeks old.. there were 2 with pasty butt and it took two rounds to clear up. One was so impacted that over a tbs of Pooh came out as I was cleaning her with a q tip and coconut oil (poor girl) anyways now I’m obsessed with thinking it might come back. Their behavior is super active, they eat and drink, and play all day.. is there any sign that they are impacted other than keeping an eye on their bums? I am a complete novice btw

I don't think they are impacted. As long as there is no poop covering their butt, they should be good. Just keep an eye on them. You're doing good!

As long as you are checking, it will be fine. If it's reoccurring, make sure that your brooder isn't too warm. It should be warm at one end, and cooler at the other, so there's a temperature gradient.
Cute chicks!
