help a newbi

I did everything just right for my first batch of 9 chicks that hatched back on Mother's Day, and at a week old, one of the buff orpington's died. It was so shocking, but I later realized it was from "pasty butt"...I was unaware that I needed to check their bottoms to be sure there was no blockage from poop that sticks together back there. All of the other chicks were fine and the 6 new ones I have are fine also...I'm paranoid about it now so I check their bottoms daily.
