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
 
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:fl:hugs
 
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?
 
Good to know rebrascora I didn't know that about chickens learn something new every day:thumbsup:bow I've always wondered that about chicks too know I know it's their crop
