My chick's eye has been swollen and I'm sure they can't see out of it. He is slow moving around and just lays most of the time. We can get him to drink by putting his beak in the water but we haven't seen him eat much if at all. Is there a way we can get nutrition in this little guy? We've been caring for his eye but its not better yet. We aren't sure what to do and we want him to survive any advice would be helpful, please. Thank you in advance
 
Welcome to BYC!

Do you have some photos of your chick and his eye?

I would try giving him 2-3 drops of Poultry Nutri-Drench twice a day. Work on getting fluid into him and offer some wet soupy feed.
You can syringe drops into him if you need to. Tiny chicks can aspirate, so it's tedious 1-2 drops at a time.
