Mass on chick

[amberruments]

Hi there,

We have about 4 week old chicks and one of them is starting to form this mass on best chest. It looks very abnormal and that area is much larger compared to the other chicks. It started forming this past week and I’m not sure what it could be at all. It looks swollen so if anyone has any ideas that can help I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

It is probably just a full crop. Is she eating and drinking? Can you compare it to the other’s crops? Most of the time it looks a bit higher as in this picture:
