Hey there everyone, my babies arrived!
All 6 made it and seem to be healthy little things (I ordered them from MyPetChicken and would feel very comfortable recommending them!)... except for my one baby who just started pasting up. Boogers! I was hoping that my hours of research and obsessing over details would prevent this (cause that's how it happens, right? you plan for it and then don't have to deal with it). Anyways, I've searched through the previous posts on pasty butt and read up on solutions. The hot water method isn't the greatest, but I've managed to get the vent cleared (there's still some poo clinging to the chick's butt despite my heroic efforts). Here's my question, what else can I do to help her out? I'm hard-boiling some eggs (yay protein!) right now and planning to mash the yolks up with a small spoonful of yogurt (yay probiotics!) and some chick crumbles, this seems to be the advice of previous posts on this subject. Does this sound like it will help? Or am I just going to great lengths to spoil my babies, but in a way that won't really help with the pasty butt?
