After duckling eats....

[Ducklingguy]

After my duckling eats, he gets this little lump inferior to his neck, and near the chest. After some time, it goes away.
Is this normal? He is in no pain and drinks and eats, etc....
It’s only after he eats! Hmmmm??? Is this just the way ducks digest food! I read an article today, where someone said it was normal???

What are your thoughts?
TY, Ducklingguy

Yep! The food is just in his crop!

I read that in an article earlier, but then read it could be a ruptured air sac.

I think it’s the crop, but it feels like it would be so painful; it isn’t to him at all. Not that I can tell.

When it goes away, its being emptied. If there was something wrong, it wouldn't be going away

I’m fairly new to ducks, but I’m learning.
