I recently hatched this khaki campbell duckling. He is two-three days old. He hatched normally and is playing in the water bowl in the brooder. Lastnight he seemed to be laying in an uncomfortable looking position, I picked him up and his tummy seems hard and bloated, I didnt notice any poop in his area, he doesn't seen as active as he did earlier. I looked at his vent area and he just had a small pink "outie" I gently wet my finget and rubbed slightly but no poop. His vent does not look normal to me, there is no opening just this protruding flesh, it moves with each quack but no poop, he seems backed up to me. Is this normal? Please help, I dont wanna lose him
