    ok, chick #2 just hatched and has tons of energy but noticed a problem with his eyes. [​IMG]

    pictures are really hard to see but the right eye bulges out like a frog eye. the left eye does not stick out at all and has a very small opening. any recomendations or advice? this is my first hatch.
