Brooder Maintenance and Pasty Butt

Today we cleaned the chick's butts to prevent them from getting Pasty Butt. Pasty Butt is like diaper rash on a chick, it happens when poop sticks to their vent (a chick's anus) and it can get bad enough that it can block poop from getting out.  We used wet q-tips to gently remove the build-up.

This chick is happy to have a clean butt!
