Welcome to BYC. Are you talking about pasty butt -- poop dried over the vent to create a blockage?

This is my experience with that problem last spring: https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...butt-in-week-old-chick.1471008/#post-24506396

The basic procedure is to soak the dried poop with warm water to soften and remove it -- being careful to not allow the chick to become chilled.
