Chick wont lift head.

[ChickNanny13]

Got some Poultry Cell and stuff similar to the Durvet. Also just noticed that the chick with a neck issue appears to have a lump on the right side of neck, down near the body. Any ideas what that could be?

Get a picture of the lump, it's possible the crop? Follow the advice given by Wyrop Rock and Eggcessive.

Agreed.

@ManWithChicks what are you feeding your chicks?
You mentioned earlier that you thought their poop should look like bird poop? Not sure what you mean by that....so, here's a good article with photos that explains a little about chicken poop, what is normal/not normal too. Hope that helps. https://the-chicken-chick.com/whats-scoop-on-chicken-poop-digestive/

Im feeding them a "Chick starter mash", I guess I just expected it to look more digested and runny, with more white in it. Seems like the yellow foamy ones Im seeing are more abnormal according to that link.

Possible crop, its hard to take photo of, but you can see it in the image where they are sleeping. Its not as big as the other baby's belly or anything like that.

If you want, post some photos of the yellow poops.

Did you treat them with the Corid?

Yeah, I waited a couple days because I never saw anything that looked like blood after that initial scare. But She continued squirting foamy poops, so I said to hell with it, even though she was only one with any sort of symptoms. Her poops were actually mostly liquid and foam. So far she doesnt seem a ton better, but only a few days in.

On the other hand, her neck issue seems to be gone,and she is super active and fast. Im only worried becuase she is way smaller than all her hatch mates. I havent introduced her to the others yet, she still hangs with the mushy chick, who seems better, but still a huge tummy and large scab.

See how she does, she may have something else going on. Not all poop will present with blood if there is a Coccidiosis overload - there are 9 strains and only 2 of them show up as bloody stools.

Hopefully she will get better soon.
