Hoping for advice on this baby. She is just coming up to 48 hours post hatch.
Behaving normally in terms of energy, eating, and drinking.
I got worried because I observed her pooping a clear gel. Since then she has pooped twice (that I have seen) and those were normal chick poops. I did think however, that she stood to poop like she was constipated.
I looked more closely and saw some red tissue (first picture).
I wiped her down with a cotton ball in warm water and then with some Witch Hazel with aloe.
The poops did not contain blood and it does not look like she is bleeding from her vent, but it does look like a prolapse to me (second picture).
Any suggestions on how I can help her? I have never seen this before, but maybe it is a known issue in young chicks.
Many thanks.
