1 week old poult with eye closed

[Lexievans11990]

Hello! On the 31st of last month, my Priscilla hatched some more babies. They all act healthy, other than 1 of them. To begin with, it has wry neck which I have dealt with before and am able to treat. However, I’ve never had a bird with eye problems. It keeps its right eye shut all the time. I have looked inside, and it’s eye looks normal and clean, no debris or pus. It can blink and look around too, so surely its eye is working. It’s as if it doesn’t want to use it though. I have been giving it these eye drops about 3-4 times a day. If anyone has any more suggestions on what I could do, I would appreciate it. If not, I will try my best to help this one eye baby have a wonderful life

That looks like a good eye drop to help irrigate and make the eye feel better. I would continue to flush the eye. It’s hard to know what is causing the irritation, but she might have been pecked in the eye, or got some dirt in it. Terramycin eye ointment or plain Neosporin can also be used it it seems infected or has bubbles or drainage.

Okay thank you!! I will continue the drops
