we got so white turkey's a day old. and first let me tell you I'm a sucker for the weak. i got this one home and that night i saw its butt was out I'm new to this. my hubby said some time chickens do this and to use a wet Qtip clean to push it back in. i did but every time it goes to the bathroom it comes back out what do i do. its still eating drinking and pooping. has any one had this happen and what did they do? thanks
 
Sounds like it could be a prolapsed vent.

Hi and :welcome from Ohio. So glad to have you aboard. As long as it is eating and drinking and not getting worse, there's hope. :thumbsup
 
yep its a little fighter . from the start the place i got them were not the best. this little one was wet from water being dumped in over the chicks in to the water bowl and and this one was weak from that and a bit little i couldnt just leave it there once i got it home with heat and clean feed and water. it started to come around then this... i feel bad... i know im doing better for it then they would have and it would have already been dead and prob walked over and stepped on bye the 50 others in the cage it was in.
