Is the liquid coming out of the vent or from the umbilicus (navel) that is under the vent? I would worry about mushy chick disease (omphalitis.) If it is that the chick won't live, but look at the vent and try to make sure that is is not just diarrhea. Also, don't pull off scabs or poop, but try to wash the poop off with warm water on a paper towel.
