Chicken Butt

[TallJ]

Hello! We received our first batch of chicks ever yesterday morning and the hatchery included a free exotic chick. Unfortuately, this little sweetie dubbed 'Cutie Patootie' by my 6yr old, has something 'odd' going on with his little rear end. (We are guessing it is a he, no real clue, but since we ordered all females he is hoping we somehow got a rooster.) Anyhow, his little rear end seems to look puckered up. Yesterday it was red and other chicks were pecking at it as soon as I took him out of the box. C.P. was slowish to get going, but once he had some water and feed he started defending himself and backing up to the wall so the others would leave him alone. I watched for quite a while and gently shooed any peckers. He was pooping, so I don't think anything was blocked. Today it is not red, but still poking out a bit. I have never had chicks before. He seems fine otherwise - eating, drinking, pooping, running around, sleeping, lets me touch him, reacts to sounds, seems curious....I had trouble getting a picture as he was zipping around the brooder. Is this something I should worry about. (Ok, I am obviously worried. But should I be DOING something?!)
Thank you!!!

Anyone have any ideas?

Is it coming out of her vent or is it just by the vent? Can't exactly tell from the picture.

Im not sure but from the picture it looks like intestine. If it is imtestine you might be able to get it back inside but ONLY if its her intestine!Poor little baby. Not sure if this is the right thing to do but can you get some ky jelly and push it back inside? Is it her little intestine? I'd be worried it might be her little intestine. without hurting the chick see if it will slip back in and stay put. once you gently and I mean gently put it back in hold it in for a few minutes with your finger on the outside so it won't pop back out then see if it will stay inside her. If you can't get it to stay if at all possible take her to the vet and perhaps they can purse suture it back inside. Poor little baby she is so cute. I will pray for her.! I'm afraid its her intestine hanging out! I do pray you can get it back inside her
That's what it looks like from the picture anyway. You can see better than I.do you think its intestine?if its not intestine then don't put it back inside. Only put it inside if its her intestine
Otherwise I'm not sure what it could be? Do not put it back inside if its not the intestine! I tried to zoom the picture but can't tell. Do you think it could be part of her intestine?
