two day old blind chick...I think??

[chicksnducks]

One of my little babies can not seem to open his eyes...he just is chirping and chirping...is he blind? what should I do? Is he going to die because he can't see the food and water? Will he just starve to death? Is there any hope for my little one????HELP...
I am off to church and will pray for him, that God is gracious....
will check back later....

I would give him a few days. You may have to dunk his head in water for him to drink. He should be okay with just water for a few days; remember he still has nutrients from the yolk. Can you put a multi-vitamin in his water, like Rooster Booster? Even if he is blind, you might be able to teach it where the food and water is. I'm not sure if you have the time to teach a disabled chick, but animals have an amazing capacity to learn and overcome diversity.
