Bought some new chicks and ended up with a unique baby

If it's just a missing eye it should adjust and be fine without it. I'd check for any other issues - like in the straight on photo of the head, the head looks a little wonky to me, like the skull is slightly misshapen.

Should also add, even if you can't actually "pick" out the chicks due to Covid restrictions, they really should let you visually inspect all of them before you buy. I watched as the employee grabbed each chick so I could watch their behavior (and I said no to a very friendly one, as that could be a male) and she held each chick up so I could check that heads looked right, feet looked right, etc.

At the time I was checking for other things than a missing eye, poopy butt and leg issues so I missed the eye

I also agree the skull looks misshapen as well, like the whole socket is not there

Very interesting! But it's still cute, adds character

She has grown nicely. Love the feather colourings on her.

Who's up for a challenge? If you don't regret having gotten it and want to ask for a replacement.... Then I believe it will be your special little ugly ducking... The one that will grow up to be your favorite.

She totally is my favorite, she "gets lost" away from the flock and tends to wander closer to me when I take them out for some sun, she calls out for her buddies a lot when she is facing the wrong way to see them

She's going to take you as her best friends and follow you around!
