Hello. I am totally new to chicken rearing and just got my flock of 16 chicks they are currently 4 days old. One of them started acting strangely yesterday. Looking like she was chirping with no sound and slightly fatigued and one of her eyes was really goopy and closed. I had isolated her in...
My baby chick has bubbles in her eye that won’t go away I haven’t noticed any weird smells or different in their behavior it might be itchy but it’s hard to tell because we have a mite problem that won’t go away
I’ve been putting this in their eye but nothing has changed
Hi y'all! Yesterday I was at the local feedstore and noticed these 3 were separated from the rest of the chicks. The black one is always looking down (maybe a neck deformity?), one orange chick has a slightly misaligned beak and a malformed left eye, the other orange one has a very crossed beak...
Hi all! I’m new to BYC, however, I’ve been looking up amazing advice here since 2014. We are a family of four and like many, started with 6 chicks and ending up with 20, lol.
Well, last week we received our first ever shipped chicks, 16 of them (to meet the minimum of course). We ordered...
I have a two week old welbar chick with an eye issue. She might be getting pecked at but tonight when I picked her up I noticed she had a little wood chip in her eye I got it out. I’m sure that didn’t help her eye issue. I’m not sure if it is an infection or it’s irritated. I will attach a...
My four week old chick has this flap in her eye. I’ve been flushing it with saline but she does rub it. No other symptoms present.. it does seem to be attached, any ideas?
I have a 5 week old chick that has an eye that “I’ll say waters” It’s been that way since she was a day old. It’s not bubbly and she or the others have no other symptoms. Any suggestions would be awesome.

I have 6 week old silkie chicks and I noticed just yesterday that one of them has a swollen upper eyelid. There isn't much swelling but I do believe it's getting worse. So far there is no signs of any serious infection, no discharge from the eyes or noes, they are sneezing but they all have been...

I have a 6 day old chick struggling with wry neck. She has been struggling since day one. Been giving her raw yolk and water with some honey. I can get some rooster booster down her but she's very bad about anything with vitamins mixed in it. If I drop it onto her beak she flings her head and it...
Hi all,
My baby chick is almost 4 weeks old. A week ago, her right eye was shut tight and has not opened since (pic from this morning). She's the only one that ever had pasty butt and has always seemed a little slower, unsteady, but last week was really beginning to fight for her place in the...
We have a 4 month old hen that has had eye issues from hatch. We purchased her from a feed store and realized that one of her eyes was very swollen. We did some research and the best we could determine, it was a birth defect causing her eye/eye socket to not be formed correctly. Her first week...
Hey all!
I have been creeping on the forums for a while now, and this is my first post ever.
I got some chicks from a local poultry farm on August 10th.
I have lost three of my girls so far, and I think I am about to lose another one.
I don't know exactly what is happening, as all the girls...
I was waiting to post this to see if it would improve, but it hasn’t.
Around 2 to 3 weeks ago, we bought 14 Buff Orphington chicks, they came healthy and all alive. One of them came with an eye that looks like it’s bulging out- it does get a little watery sometimes. There is no drainage. The...
I’ve had this baby about two weeks. He was probably a week old when I got him. A few days later one of his eyes stuck shut. I used warm water and a q-tip to gently help it open. It still doesn’t look right.
Today I noticed a small sore by its beak which looked like a piece of its food. When I...
This Baby has had nothing but issues purchased last Friday evening at the TSC we lost her 3 friends and now I see this.. I'm new to chickens so I have no idea what it is...why it is or how to make it better for her.
I got my chick about two weeks ago it’s a silkie, it’s very small and i noticed right away that one of its eyes was very watery. Slowly it progressed into being puss filled, and swelling. I got eye drops for it and put those in every day, but now it’s completely swollen shut, I put a warm...
Hi everyone,
My Silkie hen hatched many babies. But one of them seems weird today. It was fine this moring and just afternoon it was not able to open left eye. I gave it some eye drop(to kill bacteria that I use) but not worked well. Anyone can help with it?
