Pasty Butt

[midgeelkelly]

I have a chick few months old that is fully recovered from being vent pecked. 3 others died. We isolated the culprit and he is gone. The one survivor ( a red) is doing very well, although smaller than the rest, she has assimilated back into the flock. Problem is we cant seem to rid the pasty butt. It seems to be condensing under her vent, so not really fearing vent blockage. I washing her down around once a week, and coating with coconut oil. Seems to be a short term fix. Am i missing something?
How do I permanently resolve the issue?

What are you feeding - total intake? When was the feed milled?
I would get some Gro2Max powder, or in a pinch, any other avian probiotic powder or even plain kefir or yogurt.

That is not a chick. She's a pullet and only chicks get pasty butt.
That may be vent gleet.
I would clean her up and inspect the skin. Soak her in a warm slightly soapy bath that comes up just high enough to soak her fanny when you push her down on her keel. Swirl the water around her back side for about 5 minutes to start softening that and breaking it up. Use your fingers to squeeze together hardened poop to break it up and work it off her feathers. Be gentle with the skin and try to get it all off then rinse her with warm water, towel dry her and take some new pictures. Then she can have a blow dry to fluff her back up.
What are you feeding the flock?
I would either add probiotics to the feed by top dressing with avian probiotic powder or making a mash and adding kefir or yogurt and/or start fermenting their feed. But this pullet may need more than that to fully recover if she has vent gleet.
