Got my chick babies today!!

I woke up to a dead chick, a chick with a blocked butt, and a chick with a protruding vent. What's going on? What should I do?

I woke up to a dead chick, a chick with a blocked butt, and a chick with a protruding vent. I washed off the pastey butt, but what should I do with the protruding one? Has anyone had success with applecider vinegar in the water?

Protruding like how much? Just a little bit or looking like really swelled out?

A little bit

I have few few also that the vents kinda "pooch" out a little bit. It doesn't seem to affect them and they seem very bright eyed and bushy tailed just like the rest so I just assumed it was probably just a little physical difference like people having "innie" or "outie" bellybuttons.

Haha well you could be right, mine is doing alright too. We'll see. I'm hoping it'll be fine.

My chicks are a week and a day old now. They are moving to their big brooder today and will have lots more space. They are all feathering out on their wings and are eating and drinking so much!
