chicks with knot by eye

[bunachickenlady]

we have several 2 week old chicks that have developed a knot next to their eye, does anyone know what this is? what causes it and what to do about it?

Sometimes eye swelling indicates respiratory illness. Do they have any other symptoms?

Is it possible they have been pecked?
