... as the Americans call it. I've just spent a happy morning wiping chicks' bottoms to clean off caked muck. Thankfully the chicks don't object too much to handling at this stage and, though a rather long-winded and painstaking process, all of those affected are now cleaned up and their backside fluff trimmed to reduce further clogging.
All are now tucking into a mix of crumb and mashed hard-boiled egg, with the aim of promoting bacteria growth in their gut so as to improve their digestion, as advised here.
