Could it be her crop?

I had the same fright about week ago. It is the crop, where food is stored. Perfectly normal.

Has she been on shavings? I was told not to put young chicks on pine shavings. Was told they might eat them and the shavings can get stuck in the croup.

She has not been on shavings and the bump is way on the right of her chest almost on the edge of her wing in my experience chickens crops are closer to the middle of their chest

Could you move the lump back and fourth.? Or put your fingers around it like pinch underneath as if it's a ball.? To rule out that it's her crop you can try checking in the morning before she has eaten to see if it goes down.

i cant really move the lump all that much and its always the samesize
