Recently I bought 3 Silver laced Orpingtons, all 7 weeks old. Originally talking to the owner she never mentioned any issues with the bird. When we met to pick them up though, she said one of the birds had a 'lazy eye' so she wouldn't charge me for it. I paid for the other two which seem to be in good health and brought this one along for free. It otherwise seems healthy to me, except for what's going on with the eyes. I'm still fairly new to owning chickens, and google wasn't much help so figured I would ask here.
Is this something that can be treated? Some sort of illness? Or is it a birth defect? I'm not entirely sure. One eye seems to be worse then the other.
Edit: I contacted the breeder and she said the chick hatched like this, with the odd eye. Hoping that means its not an infection or illness, although I'm not sure.
