i have two birds with the same eye infection
They are about 8 weeks old now in the baby pen ,both are chickens
They both have one eye swollen and shut
I have tried bathing with warm water and started all of the birds they are with on Antibiotics
but the vet told me to stop bathing the eyes, now the eyes have dries up with are firm crust and they cannot open them
Where do i go from here
I am tempted to keep bathing and using a mild salt solution
I have had this infection with another baby a few months ago
is it common ?????????????
i have scrubbed out the pen/run they newly hatched go in
