I already lost one. Noticed it had yellow poop all smushed on their bottom. Came back downstairs to check on them today and 2 more are also very sluggish and one of them has the same yellow mush on bottom. Help! Is this coicci? Already gave the 2 sickly ones nutri drench. =/

@Laurelash, You need to clean this off of any chicks that have it. It's called pasty butt and can kill them. Their vent needs to be clear so they can poop.

Don't try to pull it out of the feathers. Use warm water on a wet Q-Tip or bit of paper towel and dab the poop. Get it softened up and wipe it off. Be very gentle as their skin is very delicate.
