This helped so much!!! Thank you for posting this amazing solution....my little chicken fell asleep too!!
That is awesome! I'm so glad it helped! They don't fall asleep often but it's so cute when they do! Take care!
Pasty Butt is a common issue with new chicken chicks, but it is easy to deal with! After watching this video, let us know if you have further questions.
I've been treating one of my buff brahma chicks for pasty butt for the last 3 days. Even still, she has a very hard large piece (1/4 in) that I'm slowly working on--it's very close to the skin maybe even on it. I'll keep at it and hope for the best! Her back end was nearly bare when she arrived. I've been putting Neosporin on her. Poor baby!!!
@@chicagokat8 Just saw this. I hope you have this solved. If it's stuck to the skin, you'll need to soak longer and the poo will break apart. Keep us posted on your progress.
@@TheOldSwedesFarm Yes, it took a couple of days, but the pasty butt Lavender is just fine. All six chicks nearly ready to move to outside coop!
@@chicagokat8 Yay! Congrats! I'm glad you got it all solved and everyone is healthy! Enjoy the hens as you move them outside and they enjoy spring/summer! Keep us posted! Cheers!
Hahah she is falling asleep in your hand, so sweet. She is really enjoying that bath!
Like every lady, she loves a good soak! I was so surprised that she fell asleep.
And after pasty butt it continues! Lol very glamorous! We have used a light smear of vaseline on the vent to prevent it. Great great video for newbie chicken owners. Many don’t know about it. Funniest thing is we have not dealt with it in the Turkey poults we hatched…no stress of transporting etc. have a great day friend!
I guess everything would be bigger with turkeys. I hope you don't have to deal with this with your girls! Cheers Lisa!
You're right its not a glamorous part of the job, but a very important one. This condition is important to be corrected as soon as possible, as you said it can have disastrous results. Thanks for sharing!
We've always gotten this fixed ASAP so we've never seen the disastrous results. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Our baby was hurting and we couldnt find anything that worked, but this worked wonders. Thank you so much for this.
Glad this helped. It is amazing how they love a warm bath (doesn't any lady?!). Keep us posted on how your flock continues to grow and if we can help in any other way! Cheers!
The "glamorous" life of homesteading! 😊 I notice when we give them warm water, they typically do not get pasty butt-- great instruction for those who are new to owning chicks! Happy Homesteading!
I think a lot of this is stress from moving them from the hatchery to our home. After they are here a week, this goes away. Thanks again for watching and joining us on our journey! We appreciate you!!
Yep, we lost a couple chicks to pasty butt. We had just bought them too. I try to have them check before purchasing.
For us it seems to be the stress of transport that causes the pasty butt. Once we get them calmed down and relaxed (and we've cleaned a few), everything seems to be good. Cheers!
I have to thank you immensely!!!! Every time I've gotten chicks and I've had to do it, I've used the wet rag as I was told. I usually lost several after that. I tried this. I brought them all up together under a heat lamp together, so when done, they didn't go back with others right away. When I saw how well this worked, I was so happy! They all came with mites, which icked me out, but still.. I will now use this method every time and share it!!
I'm glad we were able to help! This is so simple and works so well. So far we've been very lucky. No mites ever! Thanks for stopping by to watch and comment! Take care Coreen!
The mites came with the chicks from the Company
@TheOldSwedesFarm do you put anything in the water?
@@jesseniadechert6058 We add a small amount of Epsom Salt to the water. It is not important. Straight warm water would work well on its own. Hope this helps.
She was having a nice relaxing bath there. Lots of great info here, thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate your support! She sure was relaxed!!
Rich great vid! I don't have chick's but can see how this would be very helpful to a new chicken owner. The chick falling asleep is the cutest thing I'll see today! Take care!
It was cute, wasn't it?! She sure was relaxed! Thanks for watching Steph!
Ours usually love “spa day” when we do it. Great stuff and very glamorous for sure. 😀
We need to start calling it Spa Day! I love it! Thanks for watching Shelley!
Ohhh Rich….. the glamour life of farming and livestock care 😆💩 poopy butt…….
Ohhh how adorable that she fell asleep!! That was just the best, who doesn’t get sleepy in the bath 🤣🤣great tips guys!!
She was a cutie and I'm so surprised she nodded off. Thanks for watching Anita! Cheers!
Aww, how wonderful animal care! You are a good soul....others just let them pass
Thanks for the kind words! There is no way we could let them pass. No way! Thanks for watching!!
Awe, feel better little babies!! Pasty butt can definitely kill. I see it all the time on feed store chicks. We keep baby wipes near the brooder to take off the poo as long as it isn't too crusted on.
This was crusted on and needed some soaking! Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers!
Oh wow..she likes it.. she's precious 💕 thank you so much..
Thanks for watching Jamie! She is a beautiful little lady!! Cheers!
We've dealt with this a few times. Can get bad fast. Good information
I've heard it can kill them. It sneaks up fast. Thank you for watching!!
Great information.. When we bought our very first 5 chicks they got pasty butt.
She's loves the warm water! 😴
She's just like every good lady....loves a good soak. Thanks for watching Barb!!
Wow Rich, you have such a gentle touch that little chick was falling asleep in your hand! Not a very glamorous job but very important. Best Wishes, Paul & Nadj.
That's the first time I've had that happen. I guess I've got the touch!! Cheers Paul & Nadj!
Great demonstration. Everyone that has Chicks will have to do it at some point. I did a couple last night I’ll be checking them again this morning
We get a couple each day. They seem to be better after about a week. We're all in the same camp! Cheers!
Well now, she just drifted right off with a good rear soak😉🤣🤣🤣 A very detailed explanation of a not so glamorous job, but the close attention you pay to them is amazing! That was cute, would have figured they would be wide open, right the opposite 😁👍.You sir are the whisperer for sure 😉👍 Thank you Mr Rich for another great video!!
I'm the chicken whisperer! I think she might've just been tired but it does show how much they trust us from a very early age! Cheers Nelson!
@@TheOldSwedesFarm Yes sir you are!! And for sure that shows!! Always my friend!!
Great job describing what to do to gently help. Just one of those less pleasant things we sometimes have to deal with as chicken owners, lol. I use a q-tip. So sweet that she fell asleep while soaking!
She was sure relaxed in the warm water. I used a q-tip but then really couldn't feel what I was doing. Cheers!
@@TheOldSwedesFarm My friend just called and asked me how to fix pasty butt and I sent her your video. Perfect timing my friend! Thank you!
Haha so interesting! Never thought I’d be watching videos on pasty butt chicks, but here we are 😂
Never thought I'd be making a video about a chicks butt.......here I am!!
A job that has to be done.👍
Very glamorous, right! But I learned early by loosing a few chicks due to that. So, always look out for this. I noticed it happens with temperature swings, if the brooder is not comfy enough, moving places... in brief stress as you say.
Stress is #1. Once everyone settles down in their area, this goes away. Thanks for watching and commenting Anne! Cheers!
G'day mate.
Love how it fell asleep. I do the same when I listen to you talk. Kidding!!!!!! 😂😜
Seriously though. Really good video mate and you make some really good points in this. Well done. 👍
All the best,
Daz.
Ha! Thanks Daz! I've been known to put people to sleep! Cheers!
I like to fall asleep in a warm bath with epsom salt too lol
I've got a little lady that would like to soak with you! Cheers!
We just got chicks for the first time today, I've been worried about what to do if this happens. Thanks so much, awesome video, I love how gentle you were with her. I feel better and more confidant about cleaning them up if this happens. Thanks again!
You've got this! You'll encounter a lot of things as a new chicken owner. If you've got issues, or encounter problems that you can't figure out, don't hesitate to drop us a note (oldswedesfarm@gmail.com). Take care and enjoy the new chicks!!
@@TheOldSwedesFarm thanks so much! I will definitely reach out to you guys if I have any questions or issues, appreciate it!
Thanks for all your wonderful videos! This one is no exception! Very nice ❤️
Thanks for watching and the kind words! I appreciate your support! Cheers!
Thanks so much for sharing this method. Had been trying some other ways that weren’t really working out but this method did the trick for the 3 pasty butts we had here and the actually enjoyed it as they were also falling asleep 😂🥰
I'm glad this method worked for you. I'll never try a different method again. The chicks love it and it works after only a few minutes. Have a great week!
Invaluable information as usual!
Thanks for watching and the kind words! Have a great week!
Amazing my friend
Not glamorous but much needed great helpful information Thank you Sincerly Melody God bless
I’m dealing with this now on my new chicks.
It seems like it happens most the first week. Stress from the hatchery to our home. After that, things settle down. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Very good tip thanks 🙏🏽
Glad this helped you. It's gonna happen and you better be prepared. Keep us informed if we can help you further. Cheers!
@3:08 ....it appears u just made a chicken burito lol
Ha! It's our specialty!! Thanks for watching!!
I guess that's what they mean when they say, what's up.....chicken butt! 🤣
We've actually said that!! It's not glamorous but everybody does it!! Thanks for watching and commenting! We appreciate your support! Cheers!
My wife is cracking up cause ima do all this for chicks we getting and never changed the diaper once for our kid 😂
Thanks for the laugh! I literally laughed out loud while reading your comment! You end up doing a LOT for your chicks! Cheers Jared!
Thanks, that's good info to have. I hear when you first get your chick break them and make sure they are drinking but hold feed back a few hours so they can rehydrate and that helps with paste butt. Have you heard this ?
We introduce our chicks to the water immediately. We really watch them close all day on the first day to make sure they are eating and drinking. It is rare that they don't drink but we've had a couple. Pasty butt is usually stress related. Thanks for watching!!
Thanks my man 💪 😎
Thank you for watching and commenting! Cheers!
Thanks for posting this method. I tried the wash cloth method- horrible. And uncomfortable for the bird. Mine calmed down just as yours did. Then I found a low voltage hair dryer - blowing just on her hiney. She tolerated it so well. 🎉
This is the way to go. Let that pasty "stuff" soak and break up. Warm water and a few minutes will work wonders! I like your idea of the hair dryer (on low). A little "Spa Day" for your chick! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great, thanks!
Thanks for stopping by to watch and comment. Cheers!
The water must have been just right. Little girl tried to doze off. lol
She was out for just a bit! Totally relaxed! It made my job easy! Cheers Chuck & Blinda!

Thank you for watching and commenting!
Tks for your service, 19kilo here from 1st Cav. Tks for the vid. I just got my chicks yesterday and each time I clean their brooder i check them out and 2 have the pasty butt. I have cleaned them with a warm wet compress but it seems to take :10-15 min so Im gonna soak them. didn't know that was a thing. How long will this condition last, IOW when do the outgrow this occurring?
First, thank you for your service! Second, I can't claim your thanks. I'm sandwiched between heroes. My Father was WWII Navy in the Pacific. My Son bought me the sweater. He's been in the Army for ten years. Was an MP and now a Retention Officer. He's doing great! This condition is usually seen over the first week. After that, the stress seems lower for them, and everything works well. I don't think I've ever cleaned a chick after the first two weeks. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers!
@The Old Swede's Farm your butt soak is awesome. The wet compress and pick method takes forever. The butt soaking takes a minute or two. Tks for the tip.and tks for your son and your dad's service.
Yes...our first baby chicks. Cleaned a few and lost one chick this morning. Not sure why but sad. Couldn't see if she was smothered overnight or if I didn't get her clean enough. Trying so hard to do this right! Thanks for your wisdom, friends.
If we can ever be of assistance, don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help!!
@@TheOldSwedesFarm Thank you so much! We may!
It's a shitty job, but someone has to do it.
Question: How much Epsom salt do you use?
Thanks for all you do!
There is so little water that I use a teaspoon. Dissolve it in the warm water. Just make sure the water isn't too hot. You can usually wash two chicks and then change the water. Hopefully you won't need to do this too often. I hope this helped. Cheers!
Rich you could use a hair dryer.
I've thought of that but some of them get so hot. Maybe I'll try it with just the air and see how that works. Great idea.
Didn't work great for quail chicks. It was super hard not to wet them completely since they are a lot smaller.
Oh my. I bet that it is hard to clean those little hens. At least the poo is smaller too! Good luck with the Quail!
Does this also work for if part of the egg shell is stuck to the chick?
A good soaking (in warm water) should dissolve, or help remove, just about anything. A soaking should dissolve the yolk (or other fluid) that is sticking the shell to the chick. Keep us posted on how well this works. I hope it all works out well for you.
