I have a baby quail about 4 days old. The eye has been swollen since the 1st day. It isn't runny or watery, not red, and doesn't seem like it is bothering him. He eats and drinks with the others, and it is only in one eye. I thought that maybe one of the others pecked at it, but nothing has changed. He keeps that eyelid closed. Really it just looks like it is buldging out a bit more than it should. There is no swelling anywhere else. I'll try to upload a pic, but have been unsuccessfull in uploading any pic so far. Anyone know what it may be?
