yeah that is my thought but her coloring isn't what was expected. But she is from a hatchery. I still love her. Imperfections and all ;)

I haven't updated on Dizzy lately, mostly because she is doing great and partially because I'm lazy. She is 7 weeks old now and her and her brooder mates have moved outside with my 3 teenager chicks. Her eye has completely hazed over and the swelling has receded a bit. She is a feisty little...

that is weird! It is my fav with the buldging eye. She will be 5 weeks tomorrow. Her eye was an issue since hatch.

they are adorable!

my two barred rocks that are mean are only mean if one of the others goes in their pen. But not when free ranging. I dont even know how to get them to be nice. Separating them does nothing because they are already separated and they prefer it that way.

I am really not sure. I'm guessing she is going blind but isn't quite yet.

Thanks! I think she's pretty too. The other chicks dont pick on her so far. I'm more concerned with the big teenage chickens when they end up all together. I hope they are nice to her. I may end up with a "loony" bin for dizzy and any other more docile birds. My 2 7 month old barred rocks are...

from what I've been told in here it seems to be genetic. It's like water on the brain or something. I can't remember the actual term but if you read back a few pages I asked about it 3 weeks ago on this thread.

She is pretty dark colored. Not quite what I was expecting but I guess that's a hatchery bird for ya.

Dizzy is 3 weeks old today! She is still doing good aside from her bad eye. It is starting to look foggy now (I knew that would happen) here's pics.

awwwwwwww thank you! I am very hopeful that she will make it and thrive! I noticed yesterday that she is rubbing her eye on her shoulder. She might be getting a bit uncomfortable with it now. But otherwise she is still doing great. :) I think I will be taking weekly pics to post in here.

My poor Dizzy. 2 weeks old today. She is feathering out nicely and good coloring. She is content and growing so I am hesitant to put her down. She just has a big eye that seems to be growing. But she appears to not be in pain and is eating, drinking, and not being picked on by her 5 brooder...

isn't she cute?! So awkward but so cute. She is very scared of people though. The day after I got her I was thinking she thought I was her mama but not anymore. She's independent.

Here is my "special" baby.

yikes!

My salmon baby from Ideal has a bulging eye :/ if I had known this breed is prone to issues I would have chosen a different breed since I was ordering from a hatchery.

Yes my order was from Ideal as well. I have no intentions of breeding any birds ever so that is a non issue for me. But I am sad that she has this problem. I was very excited for her. If she makes it I am ok with having a gimpy bird though. :) Obviously I'd prefer a healthy one but blind in one...

my poor baby! Ugh!!!! The hatchery wasnt much help. Just said to try eye drops and hope for the best. Is it a neurological issue?

HELP needed! I just got my day old chicks order and my Salmon Faverolle has a buldging eyeball. The eyeball itself is huge. She is a bit wobbly too. She is attempting to eat but I haven't seen her drink. I don't know if this could be caused by being pecked in the eye by one of the other chicks...
