Pasty butt quartet growth thread! Gender guesses welcome!

[TheOddOneOut]

So, I rescued 4 babies from Wilco Farm Store, where they would have suffered from pasty butt. (At least one would have died.) The employees didn’t care one bit. The lady who grabbed them (really very unnecessarily roughly) said “We’ve never had anyone ask for the sick ones with the poopy butts. They always say ”No, we don’t want that one.” “
So!
We have a Sapphire Gem, a Barred Rock, a Rhode Island Red (possibly a production red, not a RSL though.) and an Easter Egger.
We will have to sell them once they’re old enough, we’ve already reached our chicken limit.

We bought them sexed, I think. I was too busy obsessing over their poor butts to read the labels properly.

I know the SG is female, she has no head spot and no barring.
BR has a small head spot and barely visible barring on her wings.
EE is light chipmunk, no visible comb.
RIR is small and shy, with a small but visible comb.

I will post pics tomorrow, the newly cured babies are resting their little eyes under a heat lamp right now.
I spent a lot of time picking at those crusty butts, and was rewarded with large relieved poos.

This is a follow-along thread and you may cast gender guesses once I post pics.

Well, there’s nothing left to say but...
Yipee! Chicks!

Yay! I love follow-along threads. @TheOddOneOut you are so nice taking in these cuties! (Even though I’ve never seen them all chicks are cuties). Hopefully they all have a quick and smooth recovery!!,

Thanks! I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing, you know? They all have cleared-up bottoms by now, and have been gobbling down water, feed, egg yolk, and love.

Taking them now!

Here we go.
They’re all messy because I fed them egg yolk and they have the manners of a bat trying to eat with chopsticks.
The EE.

The droopy SG I hope will make it!

The RIR.

And the BR, whom I suspect is really a CM.
