Thank you once again! I see, it isn't always easy to differentiate a ruptured air sac and a full crop. What I've understood is the following:

I just wanted to ask one more health-related question about the chicks with a lump on the right side of their chest and neck. How does one differentiate a Ruptured Air Sac causing a lump of air, and the crop of the chick when it's full? Of course, given that they are on the same...
