Persistent Pasty Butt in Week-Old Chick

That's a good tip.

There were a couple times that I cleaned this chick first, popped her back into the containment area, inspected all the others, and then came back to her to finish the job on the now softer poop.

That's a great idea! I often do that with other things... like a weed patch I've been at for ages and I just have to go do something else, but than I can come back to it... Or stretching my tight hip and then doing the rest of my work out and then stretching that tight hip again!

BTW, that little "girl" is now my senior cockerel, Ludwig. A perfect gentleman of a bird who causes no trauma for me or for the hens.

Brilliant! I love reading gentle cockerel stories.
