Swollen Rt shoulders

[JuddF]

Hi (I'm new here)

My 3 ~6wk old chicks all developed this today. I did feed them organic chick starter (didnt switch brands, same as allways). They've had nothing else other than free range in the garden (no bad plants).

It almost looks like a tumor, located upper right shoulder with chest also semi enlarged. Firm to the touch and not hot. Am trying to upload photo - can I email it to someone else to post?

full crops, maybe?? Google that and you'll find lots of pictures. Poor little guys probably pigged out!

I got a photo of one of them (they all look the same). If it is full crop , how is it (or is it) treated?

It looks like it's the front of the chest, below the curve of the neck meets the breast? A full crop is nothing to worry about, as long as it goes down (the food moves on). I think it's probably fine. It should be full after eating, less full in the morning (due to digestion).
