4 of my chicks have started to develop bubbles on their chests they were all given to me and I'm not sure what it's from any ideas? how do I get rid of them?

Looks like they have full crops from eating well. The crop in the right upper chest stores food and water before moving on through to the gizzard to grind up their food for digestion. The crops can have problems if they are eating foods other than chick crumbles, and not getting chick grit to help them digest. What are you feeding?
There is a good learning center at the top of the page under "Articles" where you can read up on everything about the care of chicks.

thank you so much I was very worried. I've been feeding them starter with hard boiled or scrambled eggs. I will go look at the page tho:)
 
I would back off on the eggs, and just let them eat the starter for a while. They may be gorging themselves a little. When they do go out on grass or you feed something other than chick starter or egg, they will need grit appropriate for their age. Good luck with the chicks.
