Hi everyone. This is my first time hatching eggs. I had two babies hatch last night. When they got fluffy I moved them to the brooder this morning. They both looked fine. I left them for a couple of hours and when I came back I noticed one keeps closing it's eye. He keeps one side open, but the other closed. Both are already eating and moving around fine. I have pine shavings as the bedding. Is this something to be worried about or is it likely it's just irritated?
Its my first hatch so I didn't know what to expect. Thanks for the responses! Side note, I had one chick that pipped (correct term?) Yesterday evening. His beak was through the shell and breathing. When I woke up this morning I had one chick that hatched but he died in the shell 
It looked like some yellow fluid was dried around the opening. Any suggestions as to what happened?
