Lump on chest of chick?

[K Mole]

Good evening,

One of our chicks has a large, round lump on her chest. I know that chickens have crops, but this seems larger than her sisters and hard.
This is also our baby chick who has random bald spots, so I'm getting worried.
Does it look normal or should we be worried?

that is called the crop, it is where the food chickens eat goes before it goes to the stomach, dont worry i thought my chickens had a tumor or something to when i first noticed it

edit- didnt read the post well, she may just have eaten a lot

I believe that’s it’s crop.
To verify, take feed away during overnight sleep. First thing in the morning before the little glutton gets started again, it should be flat. If it’s not, then you can start looking into what’s wrong.

I remember my first crop scare! It's definitely the crop and completely normal. If the chick is carrying on like normal, eating and drinking, I wouldn't be worried at all.

Thank you all! It was flat again this morning, we assume our Jules just overate.
I appreciate all of the help and advice, it definitely made us feel a lot better!

I freaked out with our first babies for this exact reason! Sometimes they’re just greedy little gobblers
