Lumps on chests are most likely a full crop. That's where they hold their food during the first stage of digestion. It should fill and empty as they eat. Are you feeding your chicks grit also, or do they have access to the ground? they need some type of grit or sand to help properly digest most feeds besides commercial feed, they certainly need it to digest mealworms.
