It is definitely the crop, when it's air-filled and you lightly press on it, the chick burps. We aren't sure if this should be a cause for concern or not. Just now the chick has perked up and is walking fine, but the crop still fills with air/fluid.

This chick had to manually be hatched. It is 6 days old. Today I noticed that it was stumbling around and it's crop was filled with gas. It hasn't eaten all day but it is drinking. Any advice??
