Help!!!

Just noticed that all my baby lavenders and blue bredas that have been in the same grow out pen have the same big lump on their right side breast. Any ideas?! Help!

Yeah, that's called a crop. It is part of the bird's digestive system. It is perfectly normal.

Really? I've only raised chickens a few months but I've hatched quite a few and had never seen anything like this

They do look well fed. Check them in the morning and see if the lumps have gone down. The crops are more noticeable on some birds than others.
