    Baby chick with swollen eye

    However I did have a silver duck wing rooster that had an eye problem and then Saturday one of my banty hens had an eye problem. They never looked like the chicks but just closed and watery. I went ahead and followed the eye cleaning instructions and they are healing very well and never even got...

    Baby chick with swollen eye

    Thanks! That helps a bunch! We had to come into town for the kids ball and I will go get the tylan so I will have it just in case. Will work on the chick when we get home and give you an update.

    And tylan is only for respiratory? Is there one you would recommend or is that something a vet would have to give?

    1 and 1/2 month old chicks eye swollen

    Ok. Thanks! How long would in normally take to show systems? The chick hasn't exhibited any. I keep waiting for it to become sluggish and feverish from the infection at least but it acts normal except with a big infected eye. It's really kind of crazy. None of my other chickens are showing signs...

    Baby chick with swollen eye

    We think another chicken pecked the chick in the eye. Going to try the tylan just in case. I did clean the eye out (couldn't get it all) but puss just came back the next day. I appreciate your help. I am at a loss on what to do besides giving the tylan and keeping it cleaned. I have never seen...

    1 and 1/2 month old chicks eye swollen

    Thank you so much. I saved the screen shot of the symptoms for coryza so that I can watch the flock and see if there is any cause for concern. I sure hope not. The chick was born here so if it does have it that means one of my others definitely have it. I sure hope not. Thank you for all your...

    1 and 1/2 month old chicks eye swollen

    I tried to remove the puss but it is not like a regular puss. It is hard. In the pic you would think that the swollen area would be soft a squishy but the whole area is like a rock. I was hoping to get a crusted piece of puss and pull it fingers crossed that it would pull a good amount out with...

    1 and 1/2 month old chicks eye swollen

    Thank you so much for your response. The chick is almost two months old. I haven't seen any signs of illness in my flock but I did have to remove a rooster that another chicken had beat up. He had an injury to his eye(no where as severe as the chicks) ands damage to his crown. I am thinking...
