Baby chick has scabs not pasty butt

What is going on with my baby chicks but it looks like it didn’t fully heal what do I do?

I am assuming you just got it out of the incubator? I would put it back in the incubator for 24 hours or so at 95F.

If it's a couple days old, then I'd soak its bottom in weak, warm, Epsom salt water for several minutes, then see better what you're looking at. You can blow dry it on low. I'd keep it separate from the others so it doesn't get picked there.

I have eggs hatching so far 4 are alive and well however there are several eggs still in the incubator and I can here peeping but see no pips what should I do? Yesterday was the hatching day according to my calendar possibly off a day? Eggs provided by a friend that said they were all layed same day, I’m thinking maybe not layed but gathered…

It doesn't matter if they were laid a week apart or gathered over a week's time, they'll all hatch around the same time as the embryos don't start growing until you put them in the incubator. You put them all in at the same time, but still, some will hatch sooner than others.

Since these hatched, the others should hatch as well. Maybe give them another day. Keep the humidity up around 65-70%.

Cute chicks!

When into-ing weak new chicks to robust chicks I put them in a small no peck basket.
