week old chicks have prolapse - like inside out butts, what to do?

[cinder_ella]

I have 22 bantam week old chicks, they are on news paper with paper towels on top for nonslip-ness and they've been eating chick starter...and a silkie chick and a Silver Sebright seems to have a prolapse?

It looks like a tiny bit of their butt is inside out, and it was poopy so I cleaned their butts with warm water and put prep-H on their butts....does anyone know about this problem?

I bought my chicks straight run from cackle hatchery, but maybe they were sexed anyway?

I would be grateful if anyone could help me.

The only thing I can think of is what you've done. Preparation H with a Q-tip and slight pressure inward.

Are the pooping OK?

If it is really slight, is it possible you are just seeing irritation from the poo being stuck to their little bottoms? Kinda like diaper rash?

No not irritation...there is like a red pimple sized little bump thingy stick a bit out of their butts that is definitly part of them...it really reminded me of when my leopard gecko had a prolapse.....
