    Chick with a deformed eye socket/eye

    Well the chick is now 4 1/2 weeks old and the eye is still bulging out. It looks like the entire eye is on the outside part of her skull. The lower part of her lid comes up over the eye. I think she has slight vision in that eye. She is getting around great, a little smaller then the other...

This past week I've been letting the older flock into the fenced in area where I let the younger chicks run. So far there is one hen that will chase a chick if it gets too close to her...
