Hi everyone! My name is Jenni and I am a new baby chick mama. We have 5 that we bought from the local Theisens. I have had them for 1 week and they have grown so fast already, developing their own little personalities. I am in Iowa so they are inside for now as we await being able to put their cute lil tushies outside. They all pretty much look the same so far except a few different facial features. 1 of them, we call her Pb, came home w pasty butt (this her name lol) that we can't seem to kick. Any guidance w this? I am cleaning her tush and putting ointment on it. But I work. And sometimes after a 15 hour shift I can tell the ointment is gone and she is icky again. Here's my babes!

Welcome!

As you have already received some great advice and links I will just wish you and your adorable little ones all the best.

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.
