Their crops enlarge when they fill them with food. Hopefully it was just that.

Don't worry about it. My baby banty had the same problem too. I thought it was a tumor or something! But don't worry, the crop is the largest at night because of all the food that's being stored there, and by morning the food should be digested and the crop will be at its normal size.
