I have a three day old turkey poult that I hatched. Its right eye is bulging. It actually looks like the fluid behind the lens is increasing. I don't think he's eating, but his siblings are. I am concerned he might have more going on that I don't know about, which is one thing...But I'm also wondering if anyone has dealt with this type of eye problem in a new chick/poult? What was your outcome?

One of my Cornish bantams threw chicks like that roughly half the time. And I've had birds get like that after a head/neck wound. I have yet to find a way to reduce the swelling, and have culled every bird that presents that way
