The pasty chicks with broodies, are they being raised in the summer heat? I've always believed that pasting usually begins with dehydration but physical defects (like wry tail) can also be to blame.

Mostly spring/summer, I suppose, but I've had broodies hatch chicks in the winter too. I can't really remember if the cooler weather was any different in relation to pasty butt. But the hydration comment is interesting. I'll have to pay better attention. Thanks.

I'll be back tomorrow.

@sdm111 did you see my wild horse chickens?
I think we guessed they were some kind of game mix.

Yeah, the autosexing theory. Either game or cream legbar.
