I have a Maran chick who has had pasty butt since we first brought her home, which was a week ago. I’ve been cleaning it by dabbing with a warm wet paper towel and then dabbing dry. I also will place Vaseline around the vent before placing her back in the brooder. She eats and drinks and has normal poops, however every few days there’s build up on her.
I’ve noticed that it’s very bare back there compared to the other chicks. She’s the only maran I have so I can only compare her to my other chicks, who all have fur around there vents.
Could she be picking her own fur out and making it bare or maybe the others pecking her fur out? It’s not red or irritated, just bare or bald in that area.
My brooder has a heat plate and she’s housed with a blue Plymouth, Rhode Island Red, 2 Easter eggers, and 2 buff orpingtons. Any ideas what to do. I’m dosing electrolytes with vitamins in their water. Was going to dry apple cider vinegar next? They’re fed manapro medicated chick crumbles.
