HELP ASAP CHICK WITH WATERY EYES

[chickenaskquestion]

From those pics I don't really see anything wrong.

It's very hard to see. And it's more harder to see because the photo is unclear. Anyways something IS wrong. It has watery eyes.

Would antibiotics help or vetrx? Later today I'll go out to buy electrolytes my first flock never had problems and they have been living the same

Yes antibiotics would help a lot. But I think you would need something else to fully get rid of the problem.

I wouldn't, chicks hate to be alone. Gapeworm is very rare in the US, i would reccomend completley cleaning out their brooder. What are you using for bedding?

I took out their bedding it was to dusty for them we put them in a cage and we wash it out daily

There is no guarantee antibiotics would work, when we don't know what is wrong. Antibiotics only help with bacterial infections.

How are these birds doing otherwise? Eating? Drinking? Fluffed up? Active? What is your set up like, and what bedding are you using?

Could you take better pictures without flash so we can see the watery eyes? Is it clear discharge? Are they sneezing at all, or is there any noise when they breathe?

They are all active eating and drinking no bedding because it was to dusty and sometime they would drop their water which made the bedding wet

In that case, I don't think there is necessarily anything wrong. No sneezing?

No noise yet one of those chicks died a week ago cause of respiratory because I was to late he had open mouth breathing and made clicking noise but now I saw it earlier

What do you have them standing on if you aren't using bedding?
