If you scroll down at this link: http://www.betterhensandgardens.com/2010/09/12/raising-day-old-chicks/ there's a section on pasting up that explains what to do. Good Luck with your chicks!
Great! CR, I didn't read the article, but... when that happens to our chicks, we just run their hindquarters under some warm water and gently try to wipe it off.
Wow I like the olive oil suggestion. THANX Both my tiny Seabright dayolds had pasty butt off and on for 3 days. I added a wee bit of apple cider vinegar to all their drinking water and used a q-tip with witchhazel & aloe blend to soften and clean off and sooth 1 X daily and then it all cleared up. I think they were chilled as the PO box of chicks was cold to the touch by the time I picked them up and they were the first to crash under the infrared almost constant.
