Hello! I incubated a small batch of lady Amherst eggs, and 3 out of 4 have hatched so far.

Help!! Chicken with injured eye not eating or drinking.
It is hard to get a good picture since she pretty much keeps it closed, but it looks like her eyeball was ruptured. Thank you so much for the great advice!! Very helpful. I was wondering if I would still need to give antibiotics if there is no infection yet, or do I wait and see if an...- dragonfly chick
