My baby chick is very sick and I can't figure out what to do. He has a stuffy nose and can barely move, I've been feeding him plain yogurt and warm water because he hasn't been eating but nothing's working and he's still extremely sick can someone please help?

ALSO: there's a large bump on his chest it's squishy and looks like a tumor I don't know if it's the crop it's yellowish and like a ball and very large

Don't panic, it's upsetting when you don't know what the problem is or how to fix it. We've all been there and still panic too.
Hang in there, you'll get help here.

It's most likely a Tumor I know someone who's felt with this before and she was given the option too use a shot to remove liquid from the mass but the chick eventually just got better but I'm not really sure about cure don't take my word on your chick getting better on her own contact a vet maybe and I hope she gets better poor little thing

I was hoping someone would pop in and could help.
Thanks, now I'm going to bed.

How old is your chick?
The large lump on his neck is almost certainly his crop and not a tumour. They reach an age where they pack it so full of food it looks like a golf ball in their neck and with losing their fluff and getting their feathers in, it just seems really pronounced and obvious all of a sudden. If it is his crop and it is full then he will not want to eat any more for now.
How long has he been lethargic?
Has he had access to water the whole time?
What does his poop look like?
