Hatched chicks yesterday and one has this on it’s back end - pasty butt or yolk related?

[Zombre23]

Hello! My husband and I hatched our very first batch of eggs from our flock this weekend! We had 100% hatch rate and supervised most of the hatching or right afterwards. We have moved everyone to the brooder. Today we noticed this on the read end of one of them. We’ve dealt with pasty butt before with hatchery chicks, is this pasty butt or something yolk related? Can we remove it gently with warm water like you would a pasty butt?

Thanks in advance!!

It's hard to tell from that pic if your finger might be covering the vent closer to the tail and that is the naval.. (kinda what it looks like from that angle)

There are some pics in the following link that might be helpful..

ETA: does it stand up and peck around yet.. have watched for it to poop? Pasty butt would be uncommon this early.

Congrats on your babies!
