I just checked on the chicks, and the one that had the poopy butt that I cleaned is right back to the way it was again?? What gives. Why dies it keep doing that?

You can try trimming the feather and coating the butt with vaseline to help the poop slid off.

She should outgrow it. You'll need to keep a close eye on her to make sure it doesn't get blocked up too badly. This can kill her if you're not attentive.

I agree with the vaseline method. It should help her stay clean, or at least be easier to clean off.
