Yes correct, poop on headUsing a wet paper towel is good idea, but it's not pasty butt, it's my understanding that it's a feather from someone else stuck to its head with poop.

Looks like poo stuck to butt, I havnt delt with pasty butt before but I guess I need to wipe it's butt!?
I wiped it so vent is clear but tiny bit still stuck to feather below vent I left because hen was stressing, vent is clear though so other bit should just fall off since its loose.Wiping its butt makes sense.
If so much poop gets stuck that the butt is completely covered and the chick can not poop, then it is a real problem.
Small amounts of stuck poop are not directly a problem, but it's usually a good idea to keep it cleaned up so it does not become a big amount of poop.
If it's hard you can dampen it with a wet paper towel and let it soak, then it should slide right off the feather. You will want to make sure you dry the butt though or others may start pecking at it.I wiped it so vent is clear but tiny bit still stuck to feather below vent I left because hen was stressing, vent is clear though so other bit should just fall off since its loose.
