HELP! Silkie chick has foam in eye!!

[SilkieJourney06]

Hello! I had some Silkie chicks hatch on May 6th. Today I was checking on them and I noticed that one had a foam coming out of its eye. Please help!!!

That may just be a response to dirt in the eye. Try flushing the eye well with a saline eye wash or lubricant. If the bubbling persists, use a dab of Neosporin in the eye.

Thank you I will try the neosporin. I got scared when I read online that it may be MG.

It still could be, but your odds are very much in favor of it being just a small eye irritation. You'll know soon enough. It should clear right up if it's just an irritation.

Thank you so much! The eye cleared up after a day!
