How can you tell if a baby chick is a Seramas?

How can you tell if a baby chick is a Seramas? Ordered 7 silkies online but received 6 silkies and 2 mystery chicks. The farm I ordered from also sells Seramas. I know that 6 of my chicks are silkies because they have furry black feet with an extra toe.

The chick I suspect is a Seramas is black and its chest is a little puffed out. But the chest is more puffed on one side than the other. I’ll try and get a good picture of it if I get the chance. It’s very fast and it’s hard for me to get pics lol!

Wait? Is it a bad sign if the right side is puffed out like that? Like a medical condition?

Nope, only bad if it doesn't empty overnight.
The crop is the beginning of the digestive system, they fill their crops then the feed moves down and out.

The chick’s chest was like that when it was 2 days old. I received it before it ever ate anything other than the yolk which it had absorbed in the egg. This is why I think it was born like that.

Then it could be something else other than a stuffed crop.
Time might tell.
