Baby Chick has Tumor??

[MinisterTOm]

Hi all....

I wanted to know about my little chick with a growth...I noticed it yesterday it is 1 week 2 days old. Do any of you have chickens with growths or tumors?
Do you eat their eggs?

what would you recomend?

Where is the tumor or growth at?

If it's in the chest area, it's probably his crop, where the food goes as they eat.

Yep. I thought my chick had one too. It was there one day and the next is was gone. That's how I realized it was the crop.

It might just be the crop. Can we see a picture? That would help alot!

if it's the crop, give it some grit and it will go away (or down significantly) in a day or so...
