SUPER EASY “Pasty Butt” Treatment for Baby Chicks! 🐥❤️💩

[@MakeitMake]

The thumbnail was so cute. 🥰

Haha thank you!

[@pattyclarkson3]

I'm a fairly new chicken mama (close to 10 months now). I had to do this with one of my chicks. I actually stuck her butt into the warm water trying to soften the poop, very stressful for us. It all turned out great and she's a happy, healthy adult. Recently I had an adult with this issue, I had to cut the poop off of her....certainly very stressful for me. Again, it all turned out well and I am becoming a better, more experienced chicken mama!! YAY! :)

Good chicken mama!

Your buff silkie chick is sooooo cute. It looks exactly of ours at that age, it turned out to be a hen named Peach and she is the sweetest. You might have a girl on your hands. Fingers crossed!

[@WelcometoChickenlandia]

Oh gosh, I hope so because she is the SWEETEST.

[@MJYouAreNotAlone1]

We just got new baby chicks today that I am going to have to integrate into our flock. We put them outside in the coop in a separate cage, of course with a heat lamp. I pray that they will all be OK.

[@oscartheduckwhisperer9724]

What duck breeds would you recommend for a small garden? As I want grass that’s not all eaten lol and great video. 👍

[@WelcometoChickenlandia]

You could possibly go with a bantam breed or a “light weight” breed like mallards, appleyards, or Muscovy. Ducks are generally less destructive than chickens but eventually you may want to shield your garden from them as they might trample the plants or eat them if it's a variety they like!

[@sassypenguin3168]

I have a question with the fermentation of feed. Can you ferment medicated chick feed? Just thought about that and was curious! Or do you cover that in other videos? Your channel is wonderful!

[@WelcometoChickenlandia]

Thank you! I don’t recommend fermenting medicated feed. I just can’t be sure what the fermentation does to the medication or what the medication does to the ferment. 🐥

[@HappyCamper1992]

I get theirs ways to treat this and thank god. But is there a preventative thing to keep it from happening???

[@heidiandbretz9867]

I hope there's a chance you see this❤ I have a baby chick who is separating itself from the other chicks, but also following the momma around a lot. It stays in one spot and watches, then will snap out of it and follow the momma. The chick looks like shes trying to poop but only a small amount oozes out. There's a hard piece below her vent and Im not sure what it is (I just saw a vid that they have "belly buttons" and that's what it reminds me of...the hard pc of dried umbilical cord on babies). I also felt under and between the legs and it feels like a harder bump-out....not sure if its excess poop? This is a chick the momma hatched. The chick is 5 or 6 days old. I don't want to loose the poor thing but not sure what's wrong! The vent looks clear. Any help?

[@cathyl4622]

New subscriber here- Been binge watching for a week now. Got my first chicks this am. One was not quick to eat so I used your tea solution a couple of times and it seemed to work well. Now I notice her neck is turned to the left more than 90 ° and unstable. Do you have any videos on wry neck? I can't seem to find one. I am giving the electolytes which has Vit E but I'd Iove to see your advice in a video.

[@WelcometoChickenlandia]

Welcome to Chickenlandia! So happy to have you as a new subscriber. Unfortunately, I don’t have a wry neck video (yet). I’ve been thinking about posting a blog about it but haven’t been able to yet. Vitamin E deficiency can be a cause, as well as Thiamine deficiency, injury, or genetics. I am not a veterinarian and of course your best course of action would be to seek vet care. But if it were me, in addition to offering vitamin E and Selenium (necessary for absorption of vitamin E), I would also take her off medicated feed if she’s on it because it contains a medication that is a thiamine mimicker and can cause or exacerbate wry neck.

[@WelcometoChickenlandia]

Very gentle massage of the neck can also be helpful.

[@cathyl4622]

@@WelcometoChickenlandia I am so grateful that you answered. I will get right on that. I will hand feed every few hours until I see her eating on her own steadily. She stubbles to the food and gets trampled by the others.

[@WelcometoChickenlandia]

Good chicken parent ❤️🐥❤️

[@gonzalezm162]

Do you have any videos on how to treat wry neck in baby chicks?

[@WelcometoChickenlandia]

Not yet. Wry neck can be caused by a few things but the most common is a vitamin deficiency, either Vitamin E or Thiamine. I would look for a supplement for chickens that has all of those and start dosing ASAP. Of course it would be best if you could see a veterinarian. ❤️🐥❤️

Help, I am a new chicken lover. I have 46 hens and I understand that a hen needs approx .25 lbs a feed a day from other channels I watch. But I have yet to understand if that amount applies to free range. They have about an acre of land to forage. I have switched to all whole food and getting great egg production but for finance sake could I be giving them more than they need?

[@WelcometoChickenlandia]

Is it a raw mash feed? With grains and fines (powder)?

[@sabrinabuoniconti5008]

@@WelcometoChickenlandia It is rolled oats, spilt peas, flax seeds, corn, millet, sunflower seed. We tried oats grouts nd they would not eat it. I even cooked it. We also give then kitchen scraps and I grind up egg shells. I also periodically give them sprouts. I would let them free feed but that would get so expensive. With 46 layers I got 40 eggs yesterday.

[@abigailpack8460]

Hi!!! I have a couple of pasty butts in my new little flock-- how do you tell the difference between pasty butt and just a little dirt? Should I ferment food in addition to water with electrolytes (in addition to the medicated chick feed that 4H told me to use)? or is that too much on their little systems? thank you!!!!!!!

[@abigailpack8460]

PS- 2 of mine are silkies, I couldn't resist them either!

[@WelcometoChickenlandia]

If you are going with medicated feed, I would make sure that’s the majority of what they eat. You could give them a tiny amount of fermented feed but you’d have to make a teenie batch!

Hey. I have a White leghorn. His left eye is half closed and whenever he eats or drinks saliva starts coming out. Please tell me what to do and why it's

I can’t diagnose as I am not a licensed veterinarian but that sounds like it might be something respiratory. This video might be helpful to you but your best course of action would be to seek veterinary care (I know that’s not possible for everyone) kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3XaZKSQpqiZn6M

When using Rescue Remedy on your chickens, do you use the pet/animals type or the regular type?

[@WelcometoChickenlandia]

I am comfortable using the human one but I have been practicing homeopathy for over 25 years. You might want to get the pet kind as that contains glycerin instead of alcohol. :-)
