We got 25 one-week-old Red Star pullets on Monday. Already on Tuesday, I was wondering about one that looked like it had "sticky butt". I cleaned it off and put it back in the brooder. Same thing on Wednesday and then I noticed its butt is just constantly irritated and gunky. Yesterday, I saw it was always standing off by itself and I thought some of the others were picking at it so I separated it from the rest in a small box. It does poop, though not a lot; chirps (more like a distress call calling out to the others); does not seem to be growing like the others.
Should I cull this chick or keep it in the infirmary and see what happens?
Thanks!
