help with new baby chicks 1 day old?

we just had one born and he was orphaned but he poohed about 4 or 5 hours afterward. this is my first chicken that i am raising so i will try to help as i am trying to find all sorts of help myself. are they eating and drinking any water?

make sure thier vents are not stopped on the way home if they came via mail. I think pasty vents can caus problems.
 
I just got my chicks last week and I had one with pasty butt...I soaked a paper towel in warm water and gently removed the plug and now she is doing great. I check them all daily for it , as I figure it would be easier to remove a small plug rather then a big one . Good luck with your new babies!!

My chicks started pooping right away. They had chick starter and water available to them their first day.
