Baby chick's eye is watery and doesn't look so good

[gingermary]

So we are new to raising backyard chickens...just got our day old chicks on Thursday so they are 6 days old...they've been great but I just noticed one of my white silkies' eyes looks like maybe it got pecked? It's not red or puffy or goopy...just looks all wet around it's eye...what should I do?!

It's possible there could be some type of debris in her eye, maybe pecked. You can flush her eye with saline solution and hopefully the debris will get flushed if that's what it is. If the eye was pecked, put a little neosporin in the eye after flushing with the saline solution.
