Why do all of my babies have pasty butt?!

[kari_dawn]

Okay, I will switch it right now. They need fresh water anyway

X2. If they're too hot they'll edge on dehydration and they're more likely to get pasty butt. Also some breeds just seem to get more of it than others. Silkies - seems far more of them get it far more often.
Good news is that if you're almost at a week old, the pasty butt should soon resolve. Good luck - and what about posting pix? Love chickie pix

Always happy to post pics

This is when they came home (sorry, don't wanna post dirty brooder pics, haven't cleaned it today!)

I am so excited to see what color these guys are going to be!!!

haha, well judging by how they are acting in the brooder, they are not too hot or too cold, so I will just have to keep an eye on their activity! Anyone know how much ACV per gallon I should use?

They're adorable!!! What did you order?

15 easter eggers

I ordered three in my last order, and they all turned out chestnut brown. The idea is to find out what colors they are going to be, and get rid of the chestnut browns...but you know how that goes...I will have to wait and see how their personalities and colors develop

Guys really! How much ACV do I put in their 1 gallon waterer? Lol
