I got my very first chicks on Wednesday (they were hatched on Monday) and most of them are doing well. One is a little wobbly and not eating well so I put her alone and have been giving her sugar water. Another had a poopy vent so I took a wet cloth and wiped it off of her. I noticed once it was off that her vent is red and looks like it is sticking out? (not sure how to describe how it looks) Is this a prolapse? Should I try to push it back in? I have put her in with the other chick who seems a little ill. Is that ok?
