Bumm-holes

Who knew that the stress of travel can cause chicks poop to paste to their bummhole and need assistance with cleaning?  Not me, folks.  I have never received mail order chicks until now, nor have I ever had to clean a 3 day old chicks bumm.  Dry feathers keep the chicks warm (they should stay in 90 degree heat for 7 days), so after I bathed their butts, I had to dry them with a hair dryer.  Some of the chicks loved the hair dryer, others, not so much.  I hope they are all still alive in the morning.  They seemed pretty dry when the sun went down.
