I have 5 3-4 week old Welsummer chicks that I just bought at a livestock auction last week end. I Am kicking myself now for not looking them all over better before purchasing. One chick has eye issues, she cann't seem to open her eyes all the way and tends to walk around with one or both shut completely. She sleeps all the time even when the others are all busy running around, but still eats and drinks normally. Does anyone know what is wrong or if she'll get better? I think I'm going to separate her just in case she has something that's contagious, it would be horrible if they all came down with some disease. Hopefully whatever it is will not get worse.
here's a pic of one eye, the other was closed at the time.
