We’re new to chicks so we need some help…We’ve noticed this chick seemed to have its eyes closed a lot and didn’t run when the others did. We originally thought it might be blind. Today it seems very puffy. I’m attaching 2 pics of its eyes and it is puffy in both. Do we have a problem? Completely lost on what’s going on. If there’s a problem should we remove this chick from the flock?

I would start them on Corid. She's got that coccidiosis stance.
Follow the directions on the bottle for a severe outbreak. It won't hurt her or the others.
The Corid water should be the only source of drinking water.
I would give the outwardly sick one 2 drops of full strength Corid to her beak three times a day for 3 days.
Make sure to keep the brooder as clean and dry as you can.

Does the eye look normal? It was doing this about a week before it became puffy.

They close their eyes when they don't feel well.
I can't see her eye that well on my device.
It may or may not be coccidiosis but as I wrote, it will not hurt to treat.
Does she have any other symptoms?
