3 day old, some sort of buble, not doing well

[Overthinker]

This chick hasnt been doing well. I thought maybe a compacted crop and massaged it. Not sure if this was here before but looks like a bubble or blister on the right side of chest. Any ideas? Picture not great.

I can see fluid in it

I can't quite tell, can you get some better pictures?

Crop is located on the right side of the chest.

Is this better?

That's the crop. Sometimes they get filled with air. The skin can be transparent when stretched along with the crop revealing the contents. I've seen this with my chicks.

As for what's going on, I'm not sure. Can you give us some symptoms your chick is showing?

Not eating or drinking. Very weak. Hatched monday, picked up yesterday morning from post office. I've fed her egg yoke but now see really won't eat anything. I think she got too hot under the plate and revived her a bit. Wish I could help her. Tried yogurt but she just won't open mouth for food. I've been dipping her beak in water but now she just shakes her head, guess she is full of water by the looks of that crop. All other birds are doing great

Do you have any vitamins on hand? I think you're dealing with shipping stress, which can kill chicks with 24hrs, or a day, or two after arrival.

Yeah i got some of that and made some water. Dipped her beak in it all day yesterday so switched back to plain water today. I feel like i could do something. She's so sweet and wants to be on my shoulder. Maybe i gave her too much water
