Eye close on my chicks or blockage of eye in chicks

Depending on other clinical signs too, your case is related to either fowl pox or infectious coryza. Have the sick isolated from the rest and ensure you give tender love and care which includes feeding and squeezing out any substance blocking the eye as in the case of wet fowl pox, clean with iodine solution. Always have your birds vaccinated in good time. Pox infection is a big issue if no control measure is taken.

Thank you, I had the same issue when I started raising 10 crawlers in my school and two only survive. I'm going to try those. Measures if I opened my own poultry project

Kindly have just responded to similar issue to one farmer on this platform.and the problem seems to be widespread across the spectrum of farmers and may push several small scale farmers out of the business. See here https://mkulima.co/threads/fowl-pox-infecting-3-week-old-chicks.11935/unread
