pasting

[smw18]

I got some silkie chicks about three days ago and everyday I have had to sit down with the same chick because it keeps pasting. I would hate to loose it but frankly I am stumped. I have had one chick past in the other flock, but this one just keeps pasting. Any clues as to why a chick would continue to past?

Sometimes it just happens. I have always lost those chicks that get pasty butt all the time. I believe that mine all had non-visible defects that led to the GI issues that led to the pasting. I always classified them as failure to thrive.

Sorry for your situation. I hope you start to see some improvement soon.

Good luck.

Try softening the area with bag balm or a similar cream. I don't know if it will do much because I don't know what casues pasting. Maybe the chick needs to drink more or something.
