I hope it just looks worse than it is. Poor baby. I guess wipe it with a warm wet cotton ball and have a look..?

Saline wash, maybe Opthalmic ointment?

Ok I'm just a big wuss.. First timer with a broody. Just gotta power through the pecking lol

I used warm water & a q tip. I was brushing it back along the eye lid, it looked like the top lid was flipped out so I brushed it forward, now it looks like a regular chick. Bleghhh oh the thought of it's eye lid coming off.... This is the best pic I could get.
Hopefully it won't heal shut. I wonder how it happened??? She's got 3 hatched so far.

I'll get some ointment tomorrow. I know VetRx makes it. The store that sells it is closed
