Welcome To BYCMy lil rooster arrived and had patsy butt. I followed instructions and fixed it. It seems lethargic and is now 3-4 weeks old. What should I do? Lost a hen that was the same way but no butt issues. The rest are doing great!
Lost the two I was worried about. Didn’t think to take pics. I had to use a dab of oil and work it off. Was very dry. They’ve been eating and drinking without problem. Used the magic water the first couple day.Welcome To BYC
Can you post some photos of the Cockerel, his poop and of his vent?
What are you feeding?
How are you brooding your chick? If indoors - what is your temperature (photos of brooder).
A chick 3-4wks old I would get him hydrated first, then offer a bit of wet chick starter.
Photos of the poop are helpful -- chicks this age can often suffer from Coccidiosis, so having some Corid (Amprolium) on hand is a good idea.
All have eaten and drank immediatelyWhen did you get it? Is the chick eating or drinking?
ThanksNot sure but try to keep a close eye on your flock for pasty butt. I try to make sure to inspect my flock every couple days for and health concerns or possible signs of parasites.
I’ve ordered for the water what you recommended will be here for pickup tomorrow. We’ve gone from 21 to 13 rapidlyWelcome To BYC
