If you wish, please just ask your question(s) in a post. I assume you have a question about your chick's chest? Is it her crop you are concerned about?

Not fully sure it’s the lump on the chest? And I posted it via Imgur it shifts around and I think they are male since they have the legs and strut and curiosity of a male

Also what are these hard lumps on its wings? They have been there since day 2 after hatching but I only realized they were lumps and not cute white dots on day 6

What you are seeing on her chest is the crop.
The Crop is like a pouch which holds food and water, as she eats/drinks you will notice the Crop becoming fuller. As she digests/processes the food that's in her crop, it will become smaller (and she poops).

Perfectly normal to see the crop on small chicks, they haven't feathered in, so the crop is not hidden by a lot of feathers.

The lumps on the wings are the part of the bone in the shoulder. It's normal to see those sometimes until they feather out, again it's because she mostly has down right now and has grown her feathers in.

Very cute chick! Could be a boy, time will tell, it can be hard to determine at this age. In a month or so you will probably be able to have a better idea.

Can you post clear pictures, with the lights on, next time you need to ask about something? Also a clear, well lit videos of him, not you holding him.
Also, a word of advice, since you're a minor, it's best to not put your face up on the internet.
Good luck with your babies.

It’s hard because they struggle when I maneuver the wings and the lights were on there’s also an annoying thing where I can’t get good photos of things within gripping him. Especially for the white dots on his/her wings
