I have a baby chick that is about 5 days old and the breast has split from its body. Almost, like it has burst out of its skin (second pic). These are broilers and now that I look at all of them I am getting paranoid. All there breast seem enlarged. This is my first time growing chickens and I have studied this site for months, Has this ever happen to anyone else? Am I over feeding or just a genetic defect? Also, it seems to me that some their breast appears to be more to one side than the other (first pic). Is this normal. Thanks for help!
 
Are their crops really full? What are they eating? Are they outside eating from the ground?
