Warning! Gruesome photos!
I have my ~6 week old chicks and guineas in a large cage in the coop. This morning I found this one with a terribly swollen eyeball. Couldn't even see the eye anymore. Maybe twice the size of a normal eyeball. No clue what to do :-( A few hours later found her dead, stiff as a board. Others in the cage are fine. No history of diseases in my flock. What could have happened here?
