Help please

I would check the other chicks, just in case it is the crop. It is a little different in baby chicks, but basically in the upper right chest. They are normally full as the chicks are eating all day long.

I don’t even trust them to tell me where the feed is.

Here is one of a bird chick with a full crop:

Yolk that hadn't yet absorbed wouldn't be on the wing but rather at the navel. And it wouldn't still be there by the time the chick got to the feed store.

That what I figured but I at least got him to give me a replacement if she don't make it.

Is the chick acting normal?

I forgot to mention that the picture where the chicks head is turned looking at me... That lump I'm holding between my figures is the bubble or liquid lump. And it seems to be connecting from where the wing connects to under her neck.

I just started my first brooding pen with 16 chicks. I picked up my day old chicks yesterday. All the chicks settled in wonderfully they are all active, eating, drinking, etc. As they have done since I put them in the pen last night the all came running to me.

I noticed this time one of my Plymouth Rock gal had no down on what looked like the wing. What I found when I straightened the wing was what looked like a small puss sack. I called the feed store I bought her at and asked about it. He said it was probably just part of the yolk she was was still absorbing. An hour later I decided to take pics of it so I could monitor it. It's huge now, actually bigger then her head.

Anyway, I thought I would contact y'all here since I've been using the site quite a lot.

Please help me. I don't know if I need to quarantine her, worry about her or relax. She is very active, eats and drinks. Plays with all the toys and such. Anyway, I've attached pics of what's going on. I hope y'all can see what going on and give me advise on what's go in: on.View attachment 1709399 View attachment 1709404 View attachment 1709405 View attachment 1709406 View attachment 1709407 View attachment 1709410

The crop is external to the body cavity and attached to the upper right breast near the neck.

 

[Wi_Pida]

is there a scab on the swelling?
is the swelling hard or squishy or what?
does it seem to hurt the chick if you poke or touch it?

There's no scab or anything on it the picture I have with the white circle is just bare skin hasn't been plucked out or anything it doesn't look like at least. As far as how the mass feels it feels like either liquid or a bubble or pus or something like that. But just since I found it it seems to have grown.

It is packed with food. The bulging skin makes it appear as though the feathers are sparse.
