i can later, its weird he's opened it about halfway and can see out of it but it looks to be drooped down, like i can see the the white above his eye and when he tried to open it all the way i could only see about 3/4 of his entire eye

i just was wondering if anything he is doing is a sign of something seriously wrong with him, i know he will be hurt for a few days but i was just worried about his eye

i still have 4 eggs left two pipped this morning but i haven't heard anything from the egg since then I'm hoping they hatch well

the full run isn't covered but the water is in the small covered area where they sleep, only way in is through a small opening so i suppose its possible that a wild bird drank some, there isn't a veterinarian near me or else i would've took him so I'm just trying to find anything to help at...

i keep there water out in the run but I've never seen a wild bird in there before,
