The bird could have got pecked by the eye by another bird. I could be stress too....It really stresses squeekers just to get moved from the parents to the weaning pen. I could imagine getting moved from the parents to a whole new loft. Let those birds eat all they can eat for the first 4 or 5 days..it will help relieve the stress. That is all I can think of....they are most likely stressed. You may have to hand feed the weak one. I have done that before...just for a couple of days...I hope that I could help
rock and ROLL

Feed the weak one kayee exact hand feeding formula. If the the youngesters are gettting picked on, then put them in a sperate cage until wounds are healed. Try a little triple antibotic ontiment on the booboos if not on the eyes or beck.
