Baby chick eye problems?

[Winniethesilkie]

I have this salmon faverolle who's almost 3 weeks and she's been different from day 1. I thought she'd pass the first night but I have a broody mama raising them and she's keeping her fed and growing. However, every day her eyes get goopy and I have to wipe them clean, which takes awhile cause it's caked on. What would be causing this? The other 5 chicks are fine. I dont see any bugs, she eats a ton and her crop is very full but seems to empty every night. Thank you!

Try applying antibiotic ointment to her eyes and see if that helps.

Thank you, would I just use Neosporin or is there a pet one? I have vetericyn spray too

People Neosporin is fine, as long as it is pain relief free.

Terramycin from your feed store is very good as well. You may need to ask a clerk for it, as they lock it up. Use the Neosporin or Terramycin 2-3 times a day after cleaning off the eyes with a warm clean damp cloth. This could be from pecking of the eyes, or possibly from a respiratory disease. Tylosin in the water can treat respiratory diseases. Here is where to find that if you don’t have a vet:
