Continuous poopy butt!

oops didnt mean to double someone elses answer lol just saw that but yes i too second that! Olive Oil!!

I am defintely going to try the oil. It does seem like it just can't "clear" the bottom feathers, rather than being sick. I am going to try yogurt too- I only have the flavored stuff for the kids, so I'll get some plain today. Thanks!!

I had a little production red that always had a dirty bottom and she was, and is , the runt of the flock. I named her "pigpen". Since I am not one to rub anything on a chicks bum I would just check her everyday to make sure nothing was blocked. At the age of 6 weeks ,voila, no more poopy butt!! lol.

Man I am on such intimate terms with my leghorn that I sometimes blush when she makes eye contact with me
