Chick with large abscess urgent**

[Matcha34]

Hi guys! I'm new to this community of chicken lovers and I have a big question to ask you guys. I hope someone can answer it as it would be very helpful.
So about 3 weeks ago, I noticed there was a little bump on chai's chest. ( the chick with the abscess ) at that time, I just thought it was the crop that was bigger and didn't take any notice of it. Now ,3 weeks later, the abscess has grown about double in size.( it is about 3 to 4 cm deep from his chest) Chai doesn't move as much as the other chicks and it looks like he puts all of his weight on the abcess/ lump, and doesn't stand up like other chicks the same age. Chai is still eating and drinking but isn't as perky as the other chicks. When I feel chai's lump, it feels like there is liquid inside it and you can push it to one side to another.
Another question I have is Should we put her down or try to change her living conditions ?

Ps. Chai is about 6 weeks old

Thanks in advance xx
