    CHICK DIED!!! HOW TO HELP THE OTHERS?

    Chick can't close one eye

    I am to raising chicks myself, I do know however with baby humans this is very common in the first year of life. What to do with humans is a hot compress and massaging the tear duct area which is near the nose and corner of the eye. This can open the duct. I hope this helps!
