Un Even Breast growth or sick chick?

[HomeByBonnie]

I have two chicks whioch I believe to be the same breed where they have one breast side seems to be larger than the other.

Is this something that just hsappens sometimes or is it a sick chick?

Are you sure it isn't their crop? Every chicken has a bulge on one side of their breast. This is where all their food goes.

No problem. If it wasn't for this forum, I wouldnt have known what a chicken crop was either.

Chickens actually don't have stomach acids to break up foods, so they consume small rocks (also called grit) to break down foods inside of their crop.

Good luck with your birds.
