Chick straining.

[wdeployedwife1]

Hello everyone. I have a question about one of my 6-day old chicks. She had pasty butt today, and I cleaned it off with a warm washcloth, but now she appears to be straining. I watched her have a normal bowel movement, and I have been checking her vent. Any suggestions? Every now and then she also appears to get fluffed up. Any help is appreciated.

Some chicks seem to strain, & if the poop is normal, I wouldnt worry too much. Make sure they have plenty of water, & keep them warm.
