I have a Copper Maran chick named Rico. He is about 3 weeks old. Rico was hatched with a milky film over one eye but I am pretty sure he can still see out of it. At first the other chicks didn't seem to mind, (he has 12 siblings)but now they are pecking at his eye and head and trying to, I assume, "take out the weak link". I placed Rico in a bird cage in my room so he's away from any further harm. He seems fine. Eating and drinking and behaving just like any other healthy chick. But, he's screeching! Any advice on how I can care for his wounds (they're pretty minor, no blood just swelling) and also make him more comfortable and less lonely? Thanks! -Hannah
P.S. The picture attatched was taken 2 days ago so the swelling is not in the pic.
