Sick Or Weak Duckling?

[CindyinSD]

Maybe this is wrong, but when I see one of my chicks has pasty butt, I just hold its little backside under a dribble of lukewarm water and gently agitate with a swab or my finger until it softens enough to come off. I dry with a paper towel and put it back under the mama hen heating pad. It seems to work fine.

I’d give her at least one buddy and the b complex is in the cattle dept it will say injectable but you just peel off the foil and suck out the liquid. @DuckyDonna has a pic of what your looking for.

So they are out. My TSC never has anything, ugh. I’m wondering if this will work, it’s on Amazon and will be at my place tomorrow.

Oh and about separating her! I can’t give her a buddy because the other two imprinted on each-other. They are all in a plastic bin right now. And I’m going to put Penny in another plastic bin, so I could just put them next to each other so they can see one another! Would that work?

Yes that will work and the b complex will work also you’ll need to give her a little more of this one since it isn’t as concentrated.

If she gets really up set being separated give her a mirror. And a stuffed animal with out strings for her to cuddle with.

Okay, About how much more? Just a little dribble extra?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Yes she is what 3-5 days old?

 

[Miss Lydia]

What her body doesn’t need she’ll pee out..

 

[KatTargaryen]

Yes! And okay good to know. Thank you for all your help. I’ll update tomorrow after I get the B complex.

@Miss Lydia

Hi! Sorry to bother you, you can get back to me when you can, but the vitamin b complex won’t be at my house till Monday so I was just wondering what I can do for her until then. Thanks.
