lol he seems to go to sleep while I do it but cries alot once it's done bc he's wet.Glad to see Prime is hanging in there. Sorry poor baby is still having problems with pasty butt. There are several good threads on BYC concerning the problem. Hopefully it will be something that the poor baby will just outgrow. Must be humiliating to keep being turned on your head and your bum washed every time you turn around.
Oooh ok I will try that dry..I didn't want to make him too uncomfortable or damage anything bc he's so fragile but, he's a bit stronger.
Aaah that is a cool sign. I will have to get one for the Jersey Giants when they get older. Sorry to hear about your Charlie and having to get rid of Echo.I like the names.My first four EE chicks were Blue, Charlie, Delta, and Echo. Jurassic World had just came out, and half my basement is already Jurassic Park themed, so it fit. Then at about 5 months old Echo turned into a rooster and had to be rehomed, and Charlie was killed by a predator. I moved the coop closer to my house and ultra-predator-proofed it, then added in 5 month old pullets from the Mennonite farm up the road, naming them Clever Girl and Char (short for Charlie 2.) The two bantams that were added later are Lex and Ellie, since I assumed they might be occasionally chased by the raptor squad and it seemed appropriate. I had to swap their names once the dwarf stopped growing since it made more sense for the little one to be Lex.

I actually have this metal Jurassic Park raptor cage sign on my coop door. It has made a few friends/family members stop and stare at the fence and back away.

Thank you! <3Thanks for the group picture! Glad to hear Prime is still holding his own
. Hope yours survives
Oh wow..that's so sad. Sorry to hear that. I hope he does too..he's becoming a grumpy old man already...one of our chicks was that tiny. We named her Gigantor. she didn't make it past her 3rd day
can my poor Prime go through much else? Yes, yes he can. He is such a strong one. He is finally about long as my hand. I've been doing that dry method that WVduckchick suggested and the pasty butt hasnt been needing a cleaning for 2 whole days. Buuutttt, I noticed this hard patch on his back and found that he got burned under the brooder warmer. I didn't get Brinsea brand but another big brand from Amazon with good reviews. I had it lower in the back bc he has been so small all this time. Well, in the last week with all this growth I guess I messed up. I washed that spot thinking it was just grime or something and it had red spots and was very yellowish. I put iodine and antibiotic ointment on it and it doesn't look or smell infected at all. But it's hard. Anyway, he's not crying. He's not acting uncomfortable and I've given him nutridrench the last couple days as well. My heart can't take anymore mishaps with him .
