It seems that the eyelid slits are too small and too high. I can (gently) tug on them and get a small opening in each, so they aren't sealed shut, but the chick cannot seem to open them on their own, and the opening doesn't seem large enough for the entire eye to be open. Is this something that may resolve itself?
I've put the chick's beak in water so it could drink (I know it doesn't need anything for 3 days, but I did that with all of them as I moved them into their brooder.
