Broody hens chicks w/ pasty butt

[B_Chickle01]

Why are my Broody hens chicks suddenly getting pasty butt?! This was never an issue before she's hatched plenty but the last two times ( this times 2nd) I see at least one of her chicks with pasty butt! I have two day old chicks and one is starting to get it now! Im not understanding! I know its common with chicks in brooder but Broody is controlling their warmth and stuff. I've just never experienced this in chicks hatched by my broodys in all these years?

I don't have a definite answer,,,,, But it has been quite warm,,, weather-wise, in most areas. That could be a factor.
You do know how to handle the issue??

I do. I was just curious why this is suddenly an issue! Was wondering if the outdoor temp is a factor. Never had this issue with a Broody tho and this isn’t the first disgustingly hot summer.

If it's very hot out that's a likely factor.
