I have not heard this, but you do have to watch for "pasty butt" because some fecal metter can stick to the skin and harden and plug them up. They will die if they can't poop! Susan

Subject: [CHICKENS-101] chick question
Someone just told me that for a few days after hatching from an
incubator you must wipe each chick's behind in order to stimulate it to poo.
I know this is normal for mammals, is this true for birds as well?
Thank you,
