It doesn't look too bad to me, just irritated. If it looks worse in the morning just tag me and we'll get you some help.

I checked him all night and again this morning. Made sure his bum was clean still. Looks about the same possibly a little smaller. I do have electrolytes and probiotics by save a chick. Should i just possibly give them some of that for a day? I never seen a chick get suck dry bowel that much. My first batch wasnt nearly as bad but i am learning. I clean them every day.

We are all still learning here. Every day.
I would give electrolytes every other day. Or alternate electrolytes with fresh water every time you change their water. I keep some made up in the fridge when I have chicks and just warm it a little when I need it for chicks, with older birds it can be given cold . I usually make about 1 quart at a time.
