Newly hatched chick has something wrong with his eyes!

@Kiki Thank you for the info-very interesting!!

Are these chicks in a warm, not too hot, brooder with clean water?

Yes they are.

 

[Kiki]

Yes they are.

What temp is it in there?

 

[wyochick10]

Yes they are.

Right now it says 88 but they aren't huddled or anything. Just hanging out on their stuffed animal. They seem happy other than the eye thing.

Update...the first chick’s tiny eye will open some and he was eating last night. Second chick is totally back to normal! Thank you all for your help!!

How are they both today?

They didn’t make it . The second chick lasted about a week but then just seemed to be a FTT and died. Thanks for checking!

I'm sorry.

Did you happen to help them both out of the egg or did they make it out on their own?
I'm just curious.

Thank you...it was sad. The other 4 are doing great! And no they hatched out just fine by themselves. I’m thinking It might have been a temperature issue during incubation?
