Help please! Pasty butt?

I also mix a little chick grit with their starter crumbles. I read other post about using yogurt or scrambled eggs mixed with food?

Ok. I use the stuff with "the mother" in it. I don't remember what brand.
Just a little splash, if there's too much they won't drink it.

Pasty butt is common in chicks that have experienced shipping. It's not fatal as long as it is removed daily. Mostly this happens to chicks within their first week. If your chicks are 2 weeks old I think it's something else making them sick.
Give us some facts like how many chicks? Size of brooder? And what exactly are you feeding them?
I recomend only feeding chick starter for the first 2 months. Think of it as baby food, perfectly balanced healthy diet for your babies. Save the treets and snacks for when they are older.

There were 4 now 3 are left. I feed them the same thing I've always feed my chicks. They weren't persay shipped I just went pick them up. They are about a week and a half. Not quite 2 full weeks. The brooder is 2' h x 4'L x 2'w. The top is chicken wire and wood and the walls are plexiglass with holes. I use pine shavings.
