Help! Is this Pasty Butt?

[cktap62]

Hi everyone! This is Martina, does she have pasty butt? None of the other 6 chicks look like this. They are 3 days old. Thanks!

It could be the beginning of it.
Gently clean her up with a damp cotton ball or damp paper towel. Keep an eye on her bottom and just clean as needed.

Thanks for your quick response! We got her cleaned up with a cotton ball and dried her off with a hairdryer. After a bit of panic she calmed down and did really good.

It's good you are being vigilant. She will do very well with such a caring owner!

What I do is prepare a bowl with warm water water and just soak them for a bit and then very very gently rubbing their bottom until it comes off. I then wrap them in a hand towel and try to dry as much as possible and then blow dry from 1-2 feet away on medium. Then I put them back in their brooder under their heat lamp.
