What a pooy day..,,
« on: February 02, 2014, 01:15:39 pm »
This morning I checked on my Silkie chicks and I seen poo stuck onto their bum. It isn't stuck to the vent just the area around it I cut the poo off it and everything seems to be fine??? Has any one else seen this before and what is the cause?

Soft poo maybe - have you wormed them recently?
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

Chilled chicks can have white pasty bums  Check they are warm enough and there are no draughts
