So my "day"-olds have integrated very nicely with the "week"-olds. Everyone seems to be doing great and they are acting like one big (not really big, only 7
) group instead of the "big" chicks and the "little" chicks. However, there is ONE of the new group (they are now 5 day olds), who seems to have an issue with pasty butt. Not all the time, just every so often. I've only had to clean her two or maybe three times, and not every day. What could be causing that one chick to have the problem? She seems to be a tad more "quiet" than the rest, like the last to start running around, but she does eat and drink normally and otherwise seems great. Is there anything I can do to help her other than watch her and clean her when there is a problem?
These little girls are SO fun!!! Even my reluctant hubby admits how cute they are and he will comment about some funny thing he's seen them do. I can't believe how fast they are growing! The girls just over a week have feathers on their wings, feathers starting to come out on their tails, and love to try their wings out!
