    worried about 2 week old poult

    My lil man(2 week old Royal Palm) was a lil slow yestarday morning but perked up by afternoon. But now he is keeping one eye closed and it is a lil swollen on the bottom left(right eye). He also keeps rubbin it on his shoulder like it itches. Is there anything we can do for him?
