Blind chick?

Hey, all- just wondering if anyone has run into this before. I have 30 baby chicks I just got 2 days ago in the mail. One is really weak and sleepy, so I separated him with a couple friends. I actually figured he'd be dead today, but he's just weaker and sleepier. Figured this is just the normal ADR weak chick. Until he opened his eyes..! I wonder if he's blind! I know he wasn't when I got him. The other eye you can see some pupil, so it looks like it might just be rolled back in his head. I figure he still will probably die; been giving him drinks of electrolyte water and today a bit of egg yolk. But I'm sure curious! Just thought to ask on here if anyone has seen something like this before, or knows what's going on with this baby. Thanks!

Hard to say without seeing the chick, but congenital blindness does occur.
