Pasty butt

[Firsttimecrazychicklady]

Hi So I have 6 baby chicks who hatched last week. They are doing really well except one little chick had pasty butt which I noticed on Friday and treated with warm water and a paper towel. The pasty butt is back again today so I treated it again. She is the smallest of the chicks. The other five are doing really well with no sign of pasty butt.
I am a teacher and have hatched the chicks for a farmer and I am allowing the children in school to look at them. They are fairly settled in school as they just do their own thing and the children watch them in small groups. I am keeping them for another 2 weeks before giving them back to the farmer. Currently I am bringing the chicks in and out of school in my car daily and I'm concerned this is what's causing stress to the little one with pasty butt. Would I be better leaving them in school overnight? They would be there from about 4pm-8am on their own. Or should I continue to bring them in and out? I just want them to be as happy as they can be and it’s stressing me out at the moment.

Thanks for replying. Is there a homemade or human equivalent? I’m in Ireland and we don’t have many Agricultural stores around my area.

Do your local or nearby stores have a website if so I would see if they have any and if it is in store I would get it .

I have a brooder plate that they sit under. They do huddle a little but I haven’t noticed any issues with the other chicks. Yes I have Vaseline
