Is this chick healthy?

This rosy faced lovebird chick hatched just two days ago. He gets fed extremely well by his parents and is warm 24/7. He's very active and rolls around when mom goes to get some water. I am a little worried about him though, 'cause his belly seems to be a little bloated and a little dark at the bottom. Is this normal?

The dark has me a bit concerned. How long has it been that way?

It hasn't gone away, but I don't think it's black spot disease since he is a pretty active chick and has grown rapidly over the past few days. I don't know a lot about the disease, so I could be wrong.

Just checking in to see how the chick is doing?
He's still alive!
Parents have been doing a great job. He's grown so fast! He's 10 days old now. Crop is fine, belly is fine. He's just a very quiet chick, but also very active. Haven't heard him chirp in a few days, but he's still very active. A little worried, but there's nothing I can do for him. Gonna start socializing him at 2 weeks. Not gonna handfeed him, though.
