Washing pasty chicks bottoms

[1chickens1]

I have 5 one week old chicks hatched by a broody hen. THey all have pasty buts and I want to wash them off but when I wash them do I need to bring all the chicks and the momma hen with the chicks so she won't get stressed out or is it ok to bring on chick at a time without the other chicks and the broody hen?

It is odd for hen raised chicks to get pasty butt, perhaps a different feed is needed. Are they outside at all? Dirt and sand can help get the digestive tract working well. I would take them one at a time and return the one before taking another. It should be okay.

You can bring them in one at a time. Just remember to dry them (gently and completely) with a blow dryer...not too hot. Might try some yogurt or other probiotic in their water if the problem persists.
