One of my chicks has had a swollen crop for a few days. I've been watching to see if it goes down, and giving massages. Today I noticed that it's a little bigger than before. It will inflate and deflate as she is breathing, mostly while laying down. It also moves side to side, and will expand to her back when laying down. She will eat and drink some, and poops are normal.
Would this be a ruptured air sac? Should I leave alone? Or try to deflate with a needle?
