My chick has filled up with air, please help!

Thanks. This one is the one I meant to post from YouTube:

Really glad you posted that as the chick with the neck injury may have a ruptured air sac too. The bubble was fairly small and am hoping it will go away on its own but if not....ugh.

Thank you everyone, I ended up deciding to use the needle to release the air. She still filled up the first day, but as of yesterday she has deflated and has stayed that way. Pretty sure it was a ruptured air sac. She has been doing great so far! Sorry for just updating, the BYC app wasn't giving me notifications.. but thank you for all the help!

Some kind of air sac malfunction maybe.

Does this mean the poops are sticking?

Yes there was some, and at the time I didn't know if that was causing the problem. Pretty sure it was the ruptured air sac.

Is she having any trouble breathing?

She never acted like she had difficulty breathing.
