Chicks with poop on their butts

Ok I am so glad I found this! I thought mine might be the only ones with this issue. Thanks for all the tips! Going to help a few tiny booties now!
 
I have 5 day old chicks, and I washed off the rear of the one I have that had poop caked this afternoon.

Just warm water was used, now I can see what appears to be what I would call a rectal prolapse in some of my other livestock. It's not out very far, but when she's peeping for company it is pushing out a bit further.

Otherwise, everything is fine. Up and trying to avoid me when I'm picking her up and trying to take a picture one handed.

I'll go back to trying that in a minute, but should I be concerned?

Thanks.
