I picked up my first batch of colored rangers on Friday. All appeared to be healthy and doing well. Two days later, my daughter brought to my attention that one of the chicks had pasty butt. I knew the options were 1) wash it off and 2) tear it off like a bandage. I chose option #2. I held the chick carefully in my left hand, then firmly but quickly pulled off the poo. Now, the chick is reaching with its head down by its leg and twitching a bit. It alternates legs. My daughter thinks (ten-years old) thinks I ripped it's insides. Any thoughts? Could it have issues and this is just one of them?
