chick poop...

Craigx · « **on:** March 12, 2012, 08:17 »

hello,

My chick, which is a day now, it seems to dribble his poo out of him, instead of leaving it around the brooder box,

any ideas? i did wash it once with a baby wipe, but its done more, is this normal or abnormal?

is the chick eating the chick crumb and drinking ok Craig? another thing to watch is that it isn't developing pasty bum, this is where the pooh sets and stops any more from coming out. remove it and keep its vent as clear as possible - plain warm water on a piece of kitchen roll will do the job

What feed is it on - medicated or not?

Hey,

it has alittle drink every so often and does seem to eat alil, but not great amounts..

ill wash it again now, before i have togo out

just chick feed, no medication i dont think, it dosnt say much on the bag, but i will double check

if it says ACS on the bag it is medicated.

where abouts do you live Craig? If you are local then I could nip round to see the chick.

too far for me to nip round, but it sounds like the chick will be ok

If you put a little vasaline on its bum, the non feathered area, it helps to prevent pasty bums

thank you,

I will vasline its bum when its finished avoiding melike the plague, (I let it have a small bath lastnight, washed its bum so it was clean and free and kept it clean as it pooped into the water, )
