I've got a 3 to 4 week old chick who is about the size of a 2 day old chick. She eats and drinks just fine, but I have notice that one eyes is cloudy and possibly deaf. She is also walks slow I'm not sure if that has to do with being blind and possibly deaf. I've had chickens for 22 years and never seen this before. Is there anything I can do for this chick or just let her be?????

Farm kid here, 22 years of “chickening” as well. I’ve had a chicken with poor eyesight before, who lived a fine life. However, could this be Mareks disease? I only say this because i’ve lost a cockerel to that virus, a keynote is the loss of weight and poor eyesight (gray iris) and poor coordination. But the fact that yours is eating and drinking fine is a good sign.. maybe seperate it for a few days and try to pinpoint it good. Sorry to hear it.
