Air bubbles under wing?

[Chillen with the quacks]

I have a 3 week old Blue Slate poult that has 2 airbubbles under his wings. I dont exactly know what they are but I'm certain theyre air filled. The lower one is right beneath a vein. He acts completely normal and it doesnt hurt when I lightly touch it. Any ideas?

Air leakage occurs at times. It can manifest itself in the head area causing huge "swelling". It can also happen under the wings. The treatment is to lance it to release the air.
