Well, I've been cleaning poo off of one of my little 1 day old chicks bootie every few hours today. This poor little thing is eating, drinking and pooing... seems to be fine except that it has the tiniest vent. It's like a tiny little red pin hole and when it poos the poo just gushes all over its little bootie giving it a pasty butt. I don't mind cleaning up after it if there is hope that it's vent might, I don't know, just need a little time to "develop" or something. But I can't help thinking that this might just be wishful thinking on my part.
I can try to get a picture of it... but it's soooo small I doubt much can be seen with my crappy (no pun intended) digital camera.
Anyone out there ever experience something like this?
I need some words of experience and wisdom here... I've searched the site and couldn't find anything.

I really hope someone has dealt with this and can offer some advice...
