Welcome to BYC ! I would call that a full blown farmI've not posted anything to this site before but I've been reading and learning from the posts for quite a few years now. My husband and I live on an 80-acre mini farm in Southwest Michigan. I've raised quite a few chickens from day-old chicks so I have a little bit of experience. But, I have a problem with one of my 6 week old chicks that I've never encountered before: She has a huge lump on her chest which I originally thought was her crop. The lump is very soft. None of my other 16 chicks have this issue. I have chick grit available in their coop. She is a little lethargic but still able to get around quite easily. I'm thinking it's a tumor and not an impacted crop. Any advice is appreciated!
