So cute!They had full run of the garage today , cleaned me up after 0900 weed eating & helped me work on the 6x8 brooder ! Couple stragglers but everybody's eating & drinking , they even picked @ watermelon for a treat , I noticed the 1 straggler that Inspired me to treat them has 1 eye shut & what looks to be infection in it , wasn't there this morning - but he's still eating & drinking , the other 14 are absolute spoiled little monsters
Sounds like they are doing better being able to run around. Be sure to provide them with a little Chick Grit (Crushed Granite) free choice. Just sprinkle a bit out in a small dish or near where they run around, they'll pick up a few pieces.
Do you have photos of the eye? If it's looking infected, then rinse/flush with saline (you can use purchased or make your own/recipe below), remove any pus or debris that you find in the eye. Once the eye is flushed/cleaned, put some Terramycin Eye Ointment in the eye or if you don't have that you can use Original Neosporin. Repeat a couple of times a day.
Saline Recipe: Mix 2teaspoons table salt to a quart of water, bring to boil, reduce to a simmer for 15minutes. Cool. Store in a sanitized jar for up to 24hrs, then make fresh.
