    Chick with swollen, infected eye

    We have 3 chicks with matted, swollen eyes. We are not sure what this is, what has caused it, and what we can do to help them. Could anyone help us with this? The chicks that have it are 1 1/2 or 2 weeks old. We have some that are a week or so older, but they don't seem to be bothered by...
