Oh for cuteness! Congratulations on #1.

I would surely leave her in there. She'll just sleep mostly while the others hatch.

Yes we are leaving them be. I have 3 who have hatched, they won’t leave the freshly hatched alone long enough for her to rest fresh out of the egg. The last one came out with a large yellow spot of hair. All of these are a mixed bunch we got offline. I’m seeing a jersey giant, a barred Plymouth Rock and a Australorp.

My kirikiki is about 5 weeks old and just got pasty poop. How can I nourish him and get him better

Is it too hot where he is? Sometimes chicks get it when they're overheated but that's not always why. I give them probiotic water every other day for a week or two and that usually helps.

You can get probiotic powder for their water like Hydro Hen or something along that line. They all can have that, even the new cute little chicks you have.

I have a heat plate and he stays away from it. I checked his underside and it’s not pasty he started having solid poop again. He’s active. I think he was getting too many bites of tomatoes. I put a quarter of a tomato in his pen. And I think he munched on it after it spoiled a little bit I don’t know. We will see I will go get that pro biotic and follow up.

Probiotics can help their digestive systems, just like they help ours. I give it every other day when there are issues, like diarrhea or pasty butt, but otherwise, there's some probiotic granules (Kalmbach's is the one we buy) that I add a little bit to their feed.
 
I have him on medicated starter food. He’s not ready for pellets obviously. Normally I don’t have bad luck just using the medicated starter like this.
