Silkie chick, 6 weeks old and still pasty butt?

[zengrrl]

All the other chicks seemed to outgrow this daily issue but my gray one is healthy and growing but....cmon constant butt wiping is getting old! Any suggestions? I'm sure she should be past this by now?

Yes she should be.

Have you tried yogurt with fresh grass cut up very small?

Try some vaseline on her butt to help the poo slide off.

I will try both. Thanks so much
Today was silkie bathday from their last yogurt wrestling match....bad idea to put it on a saucer! Nothing like blow drying a bunch of poofy babies!
