What's wrong the same thing is happening to mine. I have had her for.4 days everything has been fine until today she wouldn't eat or drink very weak just wants to be held and sleep. I hand feed her water with antibioticz today then she started eatting and then looked sick again and I noticed the bump i don't know what's wrong I also bought grit but I don't think she ate any

I have this same problem he can't get himself off the ground on that side but he can walk for a while but always falls back to the right side again and has to lean against something to work his way up what do I do

Sadly she did not make it she died in my hands looked like she was gasping for air she pooped looked at me one more time and was gone so sad I cried she was so sweet

I don't think it's the crop - it's on the side, right "above" the wing, but it's also very soft - like there's just air in it. Baby chick (3.5 weeks now) doesn't seem bothered by it. I did a bit of searching and saw that it often goes away, so I'm hoping it does the same for this little one...though I must admit, it's more obvious than it was. Hmm.

Ive got a chick that isn't too well at the moment, it didn't fully absorb it's yplk, it's a day old now and still very weak but I've noticed the exact same thing
