My 10 days old chick have raised air bubble near her neck. It's very soft and thin.is it a desease? Will my chick die? I have uploaded it's image.

I can't tell you what the bubble is, but I will tell you that my Lavender Orpington chick had one just like that and we quarantined her to watch her, but it went away. We quarantined her instead of rushing her to the vet because the only symptom she had is the weird bubble. She was eating, drinking, pooping, etc., etc. Does yours have any other symptoms? I only answered to hopefully calm your nerves a little. I'm a new chicken mama too. Other answers will come very quickly.

Oh and if you don't seem to be getting many replies here - post this on the forum about emergencies and illnesses

X2 @elphabafalls , I have no idea what it is but I have seen it many times on perfectly healthy chicks who grew up to be just fine.

No other symptoms.she is doing other things quite well.
I was worried whether this desease will spread to my other chicks or not.

I've been told to always quarantine them if there's any worry. They hate to be alone, though, so it can cause them stress to quarantine them by themselves. I would definitely post in the emergencies and illnesses forum because they're very fast to respond there. I will say this: my husband grew up on a farm that raised chickens. He says that when a chick is really ill, they won't do anything or expend any energy they don't have to. In other words, if the chick is running around, grooming itself, eating, drinking, pooping, etc. it's probably in pretty good shape. The bubble on my chick disappeared pretty quickly, and while she is bat crap crazy, she's a healthy little bugger. lol
