Growth on eye

[Chikadoodle]

I am a new chicken mom. I have 20 chicks currently. They are 10 weeks old. Two of the chicks have growths on their eyes. They are eating and drinking fine. None of the other chicks have it. They are Ayan Cemani with 6 Blue Marans. Any ideas? My MIL thinks it is from fighting. Any help is appreciated.

Can you post some photos?
Adding your location to your profile is also very helpful.

Do you have any mosquitoes out where you are right now?

A few things come to mind when someone mentions growths around the eyes - Fowl Pox, eye infection and yes...scabs from fighting - hopefully with more info and photos we can help you out.

Thank you for the photo, unfortunately, it's hard to tell anything. Can you take a photo in natural lighting? Having someone hold the chicken so you can get a close up too would be helpful.
