What is this?

This has been on my chick for a few days now and i still don’t know what it is

I am having a hard time seeing the photo. Is that her vent? I wonder if she has eaten bedding and is having trouble passing it.

Pasty butt. It's usually caused by transport stress. A brooder that is too warm or too cool can also be the cause. Simply run warm water over the clump of poo till it dissolves. Do not try to pull it off. Gently dry the chick and place back under the heat.

Okay thank you so much!

You'll need to check all chicks daily for pasted up vents. A blocked up chick could die if it's not cleared away.
