The other day I noticed that one of my EE chicks eye was slightly closed and that her muff (cheek puff) wasn't really there anymore. It looks all crust and strange? Maybe it's just wet but I don't know? Her eye looks healthy and clean on the other side and the muff is puffed out and big! What's wrong?? Did she get pecked in the eye? I'm not sure? What should I do? She's about 2 weeks old! Thanks and let me know if you have any idea what's wrong? Maybe I'm over reacting but I love my chickens! Here are some pics of the bad eye...



 
A minor injury from picking would be my 1st guess too. Try washing it with a warm wet SOFT cloth & checking it again in a few hours. If it looks better just kinda keep an eye on it for a few days to make sure. If not, check for further symptoms.
