5 week old runt chick with pasty butt?

[Cheekychook11]

I have a 5 week old chick with a very poopy butt and what appears to be poop stuck in the vent, is this pasty butt or something else? It just pooped 5 mins ago so it’s not contained constipated it seems
What should I do? I’m trying to clean it off but the chick keeps jumping away

Please someone help I think it might be prolapse, the chick keeps pecking at it
@eggsessive
I have never dealt with something like this before

Try soaking it off

I tried soaking the butt but I think the problem might be not than just poop clog? Here’s a better picture

Looks like there's a skin issue, maybe a fungal infection.

It's hard to tell what's going on there, the picture is blurry.
Can you get someone to hold him and take a picture?

If it's stuck on poop or the vent is clogged, giving a soaking may help loosen it up. You can also apply a little coconut or mineral oil to the vent area to see if that makes a difference.

What is the chick eating?
Does he have grit (crushed granite)?

The chick is eating regular chick crumble, I can add some shells for grit
I’ll trying to get a better pic when I can, the vent is slightly raised and reddish
I’m not sure if there’s poop there or if it’s just dirty skin lumps?

If that’s the case what should I do

There really shouldn't be skin lumps there.

Are you in the UK? If not, then shells are not grit. You want Crushed Granite Grit.
