Happy Henny

I have a chick that is being raised by a polish hen outside in her coop. I picked him up today and washed some poop off his stomach and his stomach seems to be lumpy and distended while his vent is swollen and red. He is active and happy as ever and eats and drinks his fill. (pics attached of butt) Also, theres a fluid filled bubble right above his crop, under his neck. It's not inflamed or red and it is clear, see through liquid inside. He doesn't seem affected by it. I've heard these can appear on chicks but dont affect them and eventually reabsorb. Does his rump look normal? If not, what could be affecting him? TIA
