The others are fine, he is the littlest so must be having the biggest problem. They have been on proper feed until a few days ago

Great I just was double checking.
Since his crop emptied he is fine..I'd have to say he got too excited about so many treats yesterday and pigged out! lol But his crop did look normal.

crop had gone down, and was hard and small again

Empty crop should be flat and soft, not hard. If your feed does not come in, consider purchasing a small bag of chick starter at your local feed store to tide you over. He looks plenty old enough to handle oats, millet, flaxseed and sunflower hearts, my week olds get things like that. He may have overate, but without a good source of chick grit, he may be having trouble or he may have been eating some grass/bedding as well. Watch to see if he is drinking and re-check the crop overnight again - he needs to have full night without food/water in order the be checked properly.

she has a swollen red bump now above one eye, which extends over her head a little.

How is the injured chick?
If she is still "off" then separate her. Place her in a quiet area where you can monitor her. Make food/water available, but don't force food on her - encourage that she drinks.

Keep us posted.

Injured chick is doing great! She is a lil slow but is alert and running around. The swollen crop chick is doing fine, will be more careful from now on. Thanks for all I guys' help
