Hello, I am a newbie chicken owner and these are my first chicks.
They were hatched on June 4, so they are 17 days old. I received them June 5th.
One of my Sussex has a wet bottom. She is sometimes wet and sometimes a little crusty. I also notice that she is picking at it. There is no appreciable diarrhea as far as I can see right now. I did have them out in a pen in the grass over last weekend and she pooped and it was runny and brown. She made strange noises and puffed her wings out right before she pooped in front of me yesterday and it looked pretty normal, but the wet bottom persists.
No one else has this problem. She is acting totally normal, eating, drinking, flapping her wings and climbing up on the roosting sticks I put in there.
Today is the third day that I've done electrolytes and probiotics in the water. I've been asking her bum and drying with a hairdryer.
Does anyone have any ideas? I do have Corid, but she just doesn't seem like a coccidia case.
