If you check out the learning center you will find info on pastie but and chick issues.
I put some sand from the big girl coop in with the babies and didn't have any issues with pastie but. (knock on wood)
Try a dish of sand and keep checking those little bums!
Pastie but can kill your babies.
good luck
