chick keeps preening around butt

[curly245]

the chick keeps preening her butt im hoping its just a habit but i am afraid it might be a problem. her butt is clean nothing looks wrong. i would like to know whats your opinion.

Chickens like to clean themselves. It should not be something serious unless you see mites (black tiny bugs) or blood, which doesn’t seem to be the issue. I think that the chick is probably fine! If you really want to be sure...you could post pictures?

she preens every time we touch it

I don't see any real issues. Some of my adult birds frantically groom themselves as you touch them as well.
