fluid or air sac

[Stoney22]

One of my month old chicks got beat up by a larger duck.it appears to have a fluid or air sac on the right side of its breast.I separated it and moved it inside.im thinking the duck grabbed it and literally pulled a layer of its skin up..what r ur thoughts?

So I noticed on further inspection all my hens have this, its a sac and its all on the right side of the breast on each bird. Is it just bullying or an underlying problem

That is called a crop, they all have that it stores there food and breaks it down. No need to worry

Id also like to note that they appear to be acting and eating normally. And that I also fed them alot of table scraps that they normally wouldn't get like. Tomato sauce and strawberries.
