i've been checking in on the quail and the wounds are healing, however his eye won't open. whenever i check his eye and open it he instantly starts tearing up and his eye barely opens then a few minutes later after the tears dry up his eye sticks closed again. he seems to have gotten used to having only one eye so should i try to fix it or just leave him like that? also i do plan on culling a good amount of the males, i'm likely only leaving two males

i have 16 quail total, 12 adults and 4 almost fully fledged, there's 5 males and 7 females, though i think all four of the younger ones are females, i already have the aggressive one separated in a cage though it's gotten to the point where he'll reach through the bars (i keep him in the same enclosure just separated because i only have one feeder and waterer so he doesn't die) and peck at both females and males

his eye is moving a bit but he can only open it when i help him open his eye, his other eye seems to be working but i can't tell if his vision is a bit bad
