This is our 2nd time ordering chickens through the mail. And the 5th time raising baby chicks either from Tractor Supply or from hatching eggs ourselves. We always keep our baby chicks in the house with us. Our adult chickens are outside in the coop. Right now I have been holding this little chick in my hands for the last 45 minutes trying to research what’s the best thing to do for her. She’s calm and resting. Only these last two times where I have gotten chicks in the mail have I ever had to deal with Pasty butt.What exactly are you feeding them and where exactly are you housing them?

They have been eating two organic non-medicated chick starter feed. I put diatomaceous earth in it with apple cider vinegar in their water like I have done previously. On warm days we let them outside in a separate cage to peck the earth.
X2. Does it look like flesh, or is it possibly poop that got stuck and is bloody?Can you gently clean it up alittle, & get a couple better pictures? It's hard to tell.
