my adult chickens have started to get pasty butt, we had one pass away a few weeks ago, she had bad pasty butt and now another one has it even though i cleaned her yesterday she has it again this morning. they eat a good clean diet we give them supplements from time to time like hydrohen or a minty oil that is supposed to keep respiratory health good. but i did not raise these chickens we bought them from someone outside a feed store maybe two years ago. my worry is that my new chickens will get sick. we just moved them into the backyard but have not let them run free yet. what should i do? get rid of my old chickens? how can i prevent disease for my new chicks? the last thing i want is a sick flock. a while back one of my cockerals got very sick and i thought we were gonna lose him. another one currently has a nasty abcese, and i dont have another picture but it has literally tripled in size since i took this pic. i have been putting garlic oil on it but has not helped at all, it is still black.
