Bug eyes, possibly two pairs of eyes...

This is a vanity chick that hatched last weekend, and it hatched with its eyes this big, it's definitely slower than its siblings, but still growing. I was wondering if anyone had ever seen something like this before.

 

[RodNTN]

I have never seen anything like this, @WVduckchick, any thoughts?

 

[Athena2344]

Not vanity lol banty

 

[2 many chickens]

Maybe Down Syndrome?
Never seen before.

I pulled back the top eyelid a little, and under the veins it looked like another eye, it was super dark and round. And the eyes that are visible, aren't even at the same height

Kinda looks infected

What breed is the chick. It’s body may grow into them.

I know for sure that it's mom is a silver ginger oegb, and the dad might be one as well, but I'm not sure... I have another thread with its siblings and parents.

 

[Athena2344]

The thread is "Does anyone know what breed of Banties these are?"

Poor thing, it is probably a birth defect.
You could try some Terramycin eye ointment.
