Hi welcome to BYC. A few more details would help. Are it's eyes caked with dried discharge? Use a warm, wet cotton ball gently on each eye to remove any caked on discharge. What are you using for bedding? Is the chick warm and dry?

Hi. The eyes are not caked with dried discharge. ever since the chick hatched it has only been able to open it's eyes half way and this morning it opened both of it eyes half way

. As for bedding we use hay, straw, and grass clippings. The chick was hatched out by some of our hens that went broody and it lives with the rest of the chickens so I do not know if it is warm and dry.
