I'm having a hard time seeing what you're looking at...
The bald patch? What does it look like? Is something attached?

Looks like a full crop to me Sometimes with chicks the downy and feathers are thin, so you can see the skin underneath. As long as the crop is emptying, she is pooping, has no vent pasting is eating/drinking and active, I would not worry about it.

I wondered that too a little bump under the skin that moves around a bit? You're chick has just had a really good meal don't worry

It looks like the bald patch is near her shoulder, I dont understand why her crop would be all the way back there. Is there a lump? Eating eggs will not harm the chicks.

That is a very full crop.

As @Gray Farms mentioned that is a very full crop.
Also it may not be quite so far on the back - if you notice in the photo the "lump" is being held or pushed up while the photo is taken.

Here is one of the photos posted by the OP of the chick in it's "natural" standing position - notice the crop is in it's normal position and is not being pushed up or to the back. Hope that helps

He has a very full crop. Either he was food deprived and overate or he really liked what you gave him.
