Chick eye injury

Separate her for a few days, let it heal, then see how it looks. If it looks worse, the vet may be the best choice for you and the bird

I tried to separate her, and she was SO upset. Chirping very loudly and in a total panic, and my kids were crying :/ I put her back in, and they seem to all be getting along. We’re checking on them every few minutes to make sure they’re doing ok and there’s no pecking. So far, so good, and the chick is acting normal. This whole chick thing is not going how I thought it would haha.

Well, she just has to get used to it. let her see the other two chicks so she doesn't panic as much.

Well, she’s been acting fine all day. I’m going to give her some eye drops again. It looks less swollen, but she still can’t close her eye at all which concerns me :/

She closed her eye! I wrapped her up in a blanket and put more eye drops in, and she fell asleep for a minute and it closed almost all the way!
