We just got our first chicks, and one named Helma has swelling mostly below the eye, which she can barely open. It might be painful to open because she quickly closes it. Helma also has a scissor beak, but appears to be drinking and eating fine. We're worried the other chicks might be pecking the eye, so we separated her. Any advice to help her thrive? A picture of her eye is attached.

Hello Scott, sorry to hear about your little chick. I’m really clueless but will copy Ron Kean of the University poultry science department perhaps he can help.
All the best!

Thank you. I'll be curious to hear what Mr. Kean has to say.
