I have a 4 day old chick that I've tried to help with pastey butt. It has had alot of build up, crusted on that was near impossible to remove.
I have most off, however it has a raw bum, and is picking itself constantly, not eating as much or sleeping well.
The raw bum by the way, began yesterday at the Co-Op where the lady that sold them to us, PICKED OFF poop like " a bandaid" as she put it. Ripped it right off, I guess.
I suspect the trouble started there.
I'm sad to possibly lose it, it chirps loudly when it passes poop (which looks normal BTW)
I've put olive oil on it (all I could think of that I had)
What should I do at this point?
It is a sweet little Blue Laced red Wyandotte.
