    Hello again, back with another problem

    Thank you so much! I do agree that sometimes it does call for the big guns. Unfortunately, I just wasn't ready this time. I'm still a bit new to this, but I've been wanting to start an emergency medical kit for my birds as soon as possible.

    A few days ago, this baby hatched in my incubator at home...everything is normal. She is eating, drinking, pooing okay. Very energetic. However, her eye has closed up? I read through some of the forums here that look like it was the same thing, and I cleaned her eye put with warm salt water...
