Congratulations on the littles! I'm sorry you lost one. But oh how cute they are!

Ok I have a vent question. I had one chick with some shell or membrane stuck to its "back" as I cleaned it it became evident it was over the vent. I have since cleaned it's bum a couple times. I have watched it poop and need to be wiped a couple times. My question is the vent seems to be a tiny hole over a vertical fold. It looks more like a bum then a vent. Is it just working things out or is something wrong? I will take a pic of it the next time I play with them/check on them and all their little bums.

The poo comes out the little hole at the top. The "cheeks" don't have any hole between them.

I'm no expert but compared to the other 4 bums I checked today no it isn't "normal" I'm hoping for survivable and functional. LOL

I was looking for pics to compare, that's why it took me a bit to reply.
It almost looks like a puncture of sorts. I really have no idea! I'm hoping one of the ladies I tagged are still online! They would have a better idea...

So far I'm not seeing ANY evidence of Dads. And I don't know chicks other then Google images.

The younger ones will learn from the 3 24hr+ guys right? Or do I need to personally show everyone food and water?
