They may be getting pecked by others. I would clean the eyes out with saline, and put some neosporin or other brand of antibiotic ointment into the eye twice a day. Make sure your brooder is large enough because they may be too crowded.
 
Try making some little practice roosts, or put some interesting things for them to explore--a big lump of sod with grass, or a rock, or a mirror.
