Is this a protuding vent? Concern?

[ArtyChicken]

We got chicks on Friday and one had pasty butt on Saturday. Cleaned her & put some oil on her vent, but it's still a bit swollen. Monday - Eating, drinking, running around -everything else seems normal, but have noticed some diarrhea like poop and if I would guess it was from her, but I've yet to witness it (not for lack of trying). Cause for concern, or just me chicken mama worries? Thank you for looking and helping me with it!

I'd monitor the chick, but it appears to be okay.

What do I need to be looking? Any measures I need to take now?

Bleeding, inability to defecate, pasty butt ----------
Right now there does not appear to be any inflammation or irritation.

Looks normal, especially after pasty butt. I've notice my chicks have a swollen vent for a day or two if I've had to clean pasty butt.

Hi! I have a week old chick that has the same thing (she’s had it since we got her). She acts totally normal - eating and drinking and pooping but I can’t get the vent back in. What ended up happening with yours??

We just kept on like usual and now it's completely fine! It wasn't as bad as I thought. Good luck with yours!
