Raina Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Hi Amie, Is the other Chick(s) pecking its bum? (Could have caused the scab) I've noticed that some of my chicks go round pecking each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 It could be where the chicks version of the umbilical cord was? Try to keep it clean if you can - soak poo's off with a bit of warm water and cotton wool, rather than pulling/picking at them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I reckon Lewis is right. I'd keep it clean, but don't pick at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
