Ameraucanas Pasting

[KungPao]

We bought 10 chicks last week and all three of our Ameraucanas are having pasting issues.

I've been cleaning it off and last night actually dipped their butts in a small dish of warm water to loosen everything and make sure their vents are clear.

None of the other chicks are having these issues. Is there anything else I can/should do?

After cleaning, put olive oil on their butts to help prevent poo from sticking. Then do a butt check every day to make sure there is no more pasty butt.

Watch the temp in the brooder. Mine was too high and when I get it right the problem was gone. 95 for the first week and drop 5 every week after

Put some Karo in there water. I had a cochin that it keep sticking to his dawn until it caked over his butt. I ended up pulling some of the dawn out from around his vent.
