My aquired eggs from the aftermath of a dog attack have just hatched, the last little guy hatched this morning. He has 1 eye ok & the other is a bit like pop eye in fish, it is a bluey colour & looks swollen. I didn't notice it till, now any ideas????

Hi Lou, It's damaged its eye during hatching, likely to be the membrane sticking to the eye or shell damage. It may never heal but Guineas are very resilient so it will adapt.



Thanks
P.A :lol: :lol:

thanks, well I don't know how he will go, he's behind the others by 24 hours & unless he picks up I don't think he will make it, there may be more to it, time will tell lou
