Hey! Just finally joined BYC although I've been on this website so many times! I don't know why it's taken me so long to join. We've had chickens for 3 years and we just bought (3 weeks ago) a straight run batch of Lavender Orpingtons chicks from a local source. They are about 4-5 weeks old. I'm starting to wonder if they are healthy or if there is something wrong with them. Some of the chicks have glossy occasionally swollen eyes. I'm not sure if they are being pecked, have a disease, or if their eyes are normal and I'm just over reacting. I've never had this breed before. These are a few pics. Thanks so much.
