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: If the lump is on the right side of the chest, it could be the crop, but if it goes too far away or upwards behind the neck, then the crop shouldn't be...

Many thanks! I'll keep that in mind if it happens. Hopefully I won't encounter the situation soon.
