Hi,
My 23 day old chick has an eye injury. Ruby's eye was definitely plucked at by a smaller chick. I witnessed it happening. Her eyelid was already red when I noticed the other chick was the culprit. I separated them but her eye is still getting worse. Whenever I clean her eyes with saline she scratches at it nonstop. She is eating and drinking fine, so I decided to leave her alone. Am I making the right choice? Also, this started happening 6 days ago. I am attaching a photo of her eyes today.
