ok, easy but important issue here. You do have to treat this because if a chick can't poop and it gets blocked it can kill it. Some people simply trim some of the down feathers from around the vent. We have had good luck cleaning them up with a warm wet washrag and then applying baby oil, or mineral oil, to the vent area. It seems to help keep it from sticking back there. If that doesn't help a small drop of olive oil or cooking oil in the beak to eat. Be careful not to squirt it in the nostrils, it can get in the lungs. Usually, cleaning them good and oil does the trick. Hope that helps.
