I bought some new chicks at my local feed store this morning and in my excitement did not look them over first. Two of my Brahma chicks have pasty butt pretty bad. I cleaned them off in warm water and set them on a heating pad together until they dried. They are now in their own little brooder with food water and a heating lamp. One has perked right up and is eating, drinking, pooping just fine. The other one is lethargic, vent is swollen and puckering and leaking a thick pasty substance that is very light tan in color. It squats like it has to poop and cheeps loudly but nothing comes out. What else can I do to help this little one? Thanks
