My silkie wont open his eyes, Help!

[SilkieGirl 1]

This morning I went outside and I notices my rooster was not with the other silkies. I noticed that he was just standing there with his eyes shut, I picked him up and I could pet him but he just seems to do nothing, he does not look hurt and I tried to feed him but when ever I shake the food bucket, he perks up a little bit but does not eat. there're two other silkie roosters but he seems fine with them, I also have two geese that some times pick on the chickens. but I don't know if he is hurt or does anyone know f it is contagious? please answer, I need to know. thank you

Do you have a picture of him?

Is his keel bone protruding? Are his eyes swollen or is he just holding them shut?

He was just holding his eyes closed, I don't know why but he is up walking around with the other roosters because the hens are laying, I hate when chickens mess with you

Well keep an eye on him. Chickens behave that way when they are feeling weak.
