A few of our chicks we got last week had pasty butt. We cleaned them this weekend and they all got better except this one. It is very dry. What can I do??

soak the bum in warm water. not too hot! make sure it’s thouroughly soaked. take a damp cloth and gently roll it between your fingers. once it’s all off, apply a small amount of vaseline under the vent and it shouldn’t stick.
Thank you so much. She looks like she’s breathing heavy when you put her down and doesn’t really move.

she’s probably a little backed up if you know what i mean. pasty butt is the absolute worse and the only time i deal with it is when i buy from a store. none of the chicks i’ve hatched at home have had that issue
