Pastey bum

[pmcont3]

At what age do you stop looking for pastey bum?

Usually about 3 weeks.
A couple years ago I started giving probiotics in chicks first water and I haven't had pasty vent since.

Mine have been having dirty bums but not so pasty that she can't poop. Should I still be cleaning her every night?

We check them 3 times a day, and clean if needed. Our chicks are 3 weeks old today, we have had to clean only 3 chicks so far. We have 18 chicks in total, we received 10 at a day old and 8 at 3 days old, all were hatched on the same day.

I have no financial interest but I highly recommend this product. It can be used in water or feed.
