Dried poop on chicks butt

[maryellen21]

Good news! My bf is home and said the dried poop fell off on its own and the one chick who was hobbling on one leg is back to warp speed and all 3 are running around much better!!!!

Omg the one with the bad leg got better and now hurt its leg again and is limping again, it was running around like crazy and rehire its leg.
The other bantam chick that got really stressed when i was cleaning the pasty poop is still not doing well it got a hair better and then started going downhill again..

Having a pasty bottom is no fun as it is a blockage and this
start internal pain ....

Are you giving them hard boiled egg's at least twice a day
as you say they are stressed and the egg will help in a
couple of days you will be able to see the difference ...

One of my chicks had this back in December and it would
reoccur till he was about 10 weeks old the worse case I
had ever had in a chick and now he is crowing and chasing
the lady's at 16 weeks of age .......

Well one chick died last night the one that got really stressed out . Now we have 2 bantams left . Im chopping up a boiled egg as smal as possible but the chicks are so tiny wont they choke on the eggs? They fit in my tiny hand still . Im afraid to give them the chopped egg dr fear of them choking they are only 2 weeks old. Do i dry out the boiled egg ?

Take that egg and push it through a mesh strainer. It will turn it into a nice, easy to eat consistency. Or you can scramble an egg with a bit of water to soften it up, and mash that for them. It will be soft enough for them to eat easily.

I have managed to get day old chicks to eat the hard boiled egg's
just use a fork and mash it up and once the chicks get a taste of
it they will go mad and eat at it till it is gone and this is the reason
hard boiled egg's are used not fried .....

Good luck and watch the fun begin

Please tell us how the chicks went after the boiled egg

So sorry about your loss

Chicks are the hard boiled egg fast, i used a strainer to make it really small. We are not replacing the one bantam that died, just gonna leave it at 5 chicks . Drawing plans now for the coop, that should be done in a few months then chicks can go outside

Good to know this will replace the vitamins they need and build up
the inhumane system ....
