Vet isn't an option where i live. The turkey poult died shortly after I posted. Idk what went wrong. My nephew says ghe two he bought with them are doing just fine.

What does the bubbles around the eye mean?

Yes, she did have bubbles on both eyes this morning when i found her! I brought her in and put her in the bath tub for now. I gave her garlic and vinegar water and some feed. She is eating and drinking. But the bubbles seem to be gone now. I havent opened up her eye myself to look, but i will...
