have you ever cleaned a pastie butt..

at the feed store?

I was just reading another thread and it got me thinking about this. Every time I go into the feed store this year I have resisted the temptation to buy chicks. What I have done though is clean at least one or two fuzzy butts at every store I've been in. I thought to myself.. is everyone like this?

yep- and i have become friends with the employees in the process!

The feed store I go to seems to do a fairly good job. It's probably more of a pet store than a feed store. I really only saw one case of pastie butt in the bins when I was there last. And, only one of my chicks from the store ending up pasting up. I thought that seemed pretty good. Now, the TSC on the other hand, I'm usually in a hurry when I go through there. It would take a wash tub and a couple of hours in there.

I'm a newbie. How long do you have to watch out/wash the chicks for pasty butt? Thanks.

usually just a couple of weeks. I've been lucky and never had a case of it here at home.
