I am proud to say have have never loss any chicks. I may now, I two chicks smaller then the rest( diff bred) The are getting hard poop stuck on thier butts blocking them. I read this is caused by hight temps. It might have been were I got them but, now I think the temp is fine, It is 95-90. They are not acting like it is to warm. They are acting like they are sick. I keep wiping them down with warm water. Is this going to get better? The rest of the chicks are fine?
I have always had some of the chicks I get have poopy butts. I just keep an eye on them and clean them religiously. It has always cleared up.
After you clean then try to put some vaseline around the area. It works for my chicks, the pasty butt should go away in about a week or so.
