chick lethargic, one eye closed

[murphynhazel12]

hey, i just noticed this afternoon that one of my 4 week old easter egger chicks is acting weird: she keeps falling asleep standing up even when all of her siblings are running around, and most of the time she keeps her right eye closed. she also always has especially watery poops (none of the other chicks do) where most of what is excreted just looks like clear water with only a bit of floating fecal matter. what could be wrong? I've attached pictures of her normal eye vs closed eye

Can you get some Corid and treat her and the others for possible coccidiosis? It may not be that but it won’t hurt them. Corid dosage is 2 tsp per gallon of water for 5 days changed daily.

Rinse her eye with a little saline, and look for any foreign material or bubbles in her eye. You can use Terramycin eye ointment in her closed eye or a little dab of plain triple antibiotic ointment twice a day.
