Sick chick, what to do?

I have three month old Australorps from Pratts. One has not grown well and appears to have a "bubble" behing her neck that sometimes fills with food. She must have some kind of congenative deformation or something? What do I do with her? Will she outgrow it? Is it the humane thing to put her down? If so, how? Thanks in advance for any suggestions, I am new to all this!

  • Can you post a picture of this chick? Does she have a normal crop in the front of her neck/chest in addition to this lump? Sorry to not be much of a help right now. I would also post something in the forums at backyardchickens.com if you haven't already. (Include a photo.)
