Shoulder Blisters???

All 4 chicks purchased March 20,2025 have developed this in the exact same location. What in the world? Lamp is 3ft above them.

It could be the air sacks that chickens have it might have ruptured. It should re absorb.

It doesn't look concerning to me.

The lump is their crop and it is bigger now because it is full of food which is normal. With chicks it will go up and down at various times throughout the day.

The crop on baby chicks can sometimes be more toward the shoulder. How are they acting? If normal, I would just watch them.
