Hi! One of my little Silkie chicks has a swollen, icky, pussy eye. It's not completely crusted over, but it is almost swollen shut. The other eye is watering, but it is not crusted or pussy yet. It almost looks like one of the other chicks was picking on him. He is about a week old.
What do I do? I'm going to try to separate the smaller chicks from the older chicks tomorrow (if possible). They span in age from a few days to two weeks. I just got them a few days ago. I;m taking my dog to the vet tomorrow for his shots, so if there is any sort of antibiotic that I should get, please tell me. I can't spend a whole ton on a chick, so please be realistic.
He's not blind. He could see my hand when I was waving it in front of him.
