New Baby Chick Butt

[Brew Coop]

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.

Thanks, not sure how but I'll look at the links you sent

Hope he will be okay. If there any chance that white area is maggots? They are extremely serious.

How would he get maggots?

How would he get maggots?

Flies can lay their eggs in living things, when they hatch as maggots they can eat whatever they were buried in too. Kinda scary, hope it's not that

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?
