Chick swollen help

[Lisa_123]

Hi,
Something wrong with my chick seems to be swollen on one side at the back - see picture. Think he might be breathing heavier than normal but not sure. Not sure if he's drinking or eating as well as others. He's definitely smaller than the rest nearly two weeks old. Help??

What does the lump feel like? Is it soft, fluidy, or hard?
Can you get her to a vet?

It is a soft lump.
