One of our baby chicks has a hurt eye. We arn't sure what happened to it. Mhave been stung by something, got it poked by something, or the mommy hen may have pecked it (she has decided she doesn't want to be a mommy hen any longer and has been chasing away and pecking at her babies, we have booted her back to the big chicken pen and left the babies with the Blue Cochin mommy and her baby).
Anyway, it looks awful. Any suggestions on what we can do for it. It appears that right now it can still see out of that eye. We put a little collodial silver around it on the sore infected looking parts. It didn't complain too much.
