    When you say clean the chick, do you mean gently wipe her eye, or something else?

    She is eating when she's not resting away from the other chicks, but I'll pay attention to make sure she's eating and drinking normally. Her eye was fine when we got her from Murray McMurray on June 26. She is the smallest of the 6 chicks so maybe a peck injury. Thank you!!

    Thank you so much for your response! Yes, she will not open the eye on her own. When I try to gently open her eye there is some light yellow/white pus. I will try your recommended eye wash asap!
