Chickens: Pasted Vent: Causes and Solution
#1
Pasted vent is common in chicks but not in adult chickens. It is also called pasting, vent gleet or pasty butt. It is a situation whereby dry droppings seal off the vent of chicks so that they’re unable to pass out droppings. This is a serious condition that needs immediate attention. So it is very important that you always keep an eye out for signs pasted vent. Signs include:
Lack of appetite
Lethargy (weakness)
Huddling near heat source and fluffed up downs.
..
When the downs or feathers around the vent area are stained with droppings, this is not pasting. Pasting occurs only when the vent is sealed off. It is usually unnecessary to clean this off. However, if it is a thick mass of droppings, clean it off.

Causes of Pasting
Pasting can be caused by anything that stresses the chicks or by anything that cause loose/watery droppings. Cold and too high temperature can cause it. Under high temperature, the birds drink more water and this result in loose droppings. Worms, coccidiosis, illness, conditions that cause diarrhea etc can also cause pasting.
Prevention
1. Avoid chilling or overheating by providing the correct brooder temperature for the chicken age. 2. Prevent disease and parasite infections by observing strict biosecurity measures, keep the brooder clean and dry.

Treatment
Remove the dropping blocking the vent. If it is soft, you can simply remove it with a stick. If it is dry and hard, it would require soaking with warm water. Rarely, the dry droppings will extend into the vent. In this case, warm, food grade oil can help loosen the mass so that it can be passed. After removing the past, ensure that you clean and thoroughly dry the chicks before returning her to the brooder, else she might get chilled and the problem will reoccur.

WARNING: Don’t mistake the navel/dried umbilical cord of a new chick for a pasted vent! While the vent is beneath the tail, the navel is further down toward the legs/belly. If you remove the scab over an open navel, the chick will likely die and miserably.
..
If you suspect that the pasting is due to illness, call in a vet for proper treatment.
