I doubt we will be able to take him to a vet, I will try putting neosporin in his eyes, but they are closed most of the time unless he hears a loud noise. He was completely fine before as far as I know, and i know his eye injuries are not from other chickens as he is currently our only full grow...

First pic is of the first eye to become foggy, second pic is the other one, it's not as good of a picture but that pupil is more odd shaped.
