I had what appeared to be 'very little' food and lots of air in chicks crops before... they ended up just fine. I didn't do a thing... except worry!

I have had air filled sacs also...mostly with hand feeding. They all did fine. I think it is a result of the chicks gulping the food.

hi carl
tilt the finches head back and press out the air,try a product called potent brew sold in the uk and see if this sorts the problem out
