No, it is not swollen. It has been going on for about 2 daysPictures would be very useful to determine how severe this is. Firstly, i’ll start by asking, Is her bottom swollen and how long has this been going on?

I did see her poop today, so it is not clogging her ventTreating chicks vs a adult bird is a little different. just make sure shes warm and not cold when you do it. Is it clogging her vent? I would assume so.
The article should help then. Sorry about your girl.Here is a picture of how it looks. It is not her, but almost exactly the same thing.
lol, not a baby chick in this situationHeres what you need to do. Pictures showing how severe it would be would help a lot. Grab the baby chick gently, being careful not to stress it out. Take a soft cloth with warm, not hot, water and rub in a circular motion carefully breaking up the poop. Do not pull or tug as it can rip out feathers. many things can cause pasty butt, such as the feed, stress, incorrect brooder temp and dehydration. Was she shipped to you? Act promptly on treating her as she will die if you wait
They didnt specify age in the start of their thread. Pasty butt is usually reffered to in chicks, so i assumed it was. I already know now as the OP already informed me a few posts ago, in which i replied with a different answer.lol, not a baby chick in this situation
Thank you so much for your help!Once you get her in a soapy bath, just on her bottom, you can later trim any excess fluff that might continue to collect droppings. Note if there is any red or burned looking skin around the vent, or feather loss. Probios powder is a probiotic sold by many feed stores, and TSC has their own brand. Here is another choice:

Yes, I am planning on getting chicks, it will be helpful!And sense i wasnt 100% because they didnt say the age, in the start of the message i said “for baby chicks” so they knew thats how you treat a baby chick with pasty butt.
I see.They didnt specify age in the start of their thread. Pasty butt is usually reffered to in chicks, so i assumed it was. I already know now as the OP already informed me a few posts ago, in which i replied with a different answer.
