I have hatched out 6 guinea chicks, and two EE last week. They are all doing well, eating drinking etc. However the smallest guinea seems to always have pasty butt and I clean it daily. I have started adding just a little drop of oil to his rear, in an attempt to clear this problem up. This morning I was cleaning him up and I happened to really take a closer look at his rear end making sure nothing was wrong.....I have found in the last couple days some poop over to the side of the vent, and didn't think anything wrong other than it happened to stick over there. Well, upon closer inspection, this little guy has two vents! when I cleaned the other one, and the one that is in the correct position at the back, both puckered. So I assume that both are being used. Anyone ever had this problem before and what should I do? this little one is the runt of the hatch, very tiny.
