I'm by no means an expert, but it could be a ruptured air sac?
I've seen posts about this and people have had to lance or pierce in order to relieve the pressure.
But hopefully someone knowledgeable will chime in.

Good Luck!

That is the birds crop. The chick has just been a little piggy. All the chicks I have ever raised look like that after they have eaten.

That was my first though, but the OP's chick has this under its wing. Is it jiggly like fluid? I would poke in it and drain it. Use a sterile syringe needle.
Also, if it were the chick's crop, it would be on the right side, not left.

Had this happen about two years ago. I popped it with a clean needle and than layed the skin flat making sure all air or fluid was out. I let the chick go as was, but kept an eye on it. It never came back and was/ is still fine.
