My first batch of chicks and I have one pasty butt chick who after cleaning and drying he won't lay down and I haven't seen him poop. I've been watching him and keeping him warm but then I noticed this...

I would love any help to get this little guy through this. Thanks a lot.

The picture is a bit out of focus to see whats going on with his bottom...what that white spot is....if it were my chick I would try giving it a little bit of olive oil. This is a know "lubricant" for the digestive tract. Its poo might be runny after that, but it would get things moving. How old is it? How long do you think it had pasty butt? trying getting a damp qtip and see if you can further clean the white spot...is it just more poo that is stuck to its vent?
