I have a 14 day or so old d’uccle that I have to decrust her eyes once a day. Ever since I got her over 12 days ago she’s had watery eyes, no other symptoms. She’s fat and sassy and otherwise very healthy. I didn’t separate her and the rest of the group are just fine. Her eyes get closed shut from the tears and I clean them off and rub neosporin around them to help. She doesn’t mind me poking at her every day, it’s become routine. As I said the others are all in great health, this isn’t my first time raising chicks but definitely my first watery eyed lady. I figured she wasn’t going to make it and probably had some infection but as I said she’s thriving. Any advice?
 
Here’s a before and after I clean her eyes up. No sniffling or rattling in her breathing.
