What happens here
The presenter demonstrates how to clean a chick suffering from "pasty butt." He uses a lukewarm, moist towel to gently apply to the affected vent area for about 3 minutes. The key is to soak and moisten the dried feces, not to pull them off, which could tear the chick's skin. The video shows slowly rubbing the feces until they break apart and come off, revealing a clean vent.
Goal: Safely remove accumulated feces from a chick's vent.
