One of my chickens pecked me in the eye and I'm scared! She flew on my leg then shoulder and i gave her kale, thought she was friendly, then she pecked my eye! This same one has also pecked my gums just last week. I ran out screaming, eye covered. Uncovered it and discovered i can see but it is watering, hurts. And there is a blood spot where she pecked me. Im not gonna die right?

I'm a doctor. You'll need to see a doctor where you live. You need prescription antibiotic eye ointment to prevent any infection plus a tetanus shot if you are not up to date.
This is the way I'd treat a patient in your situation
First I'd examine the eye ....make sure nothing more serious happened to the conjunctiva
Never mess with the eyes....

Thanks for all the info, even though it is really scary. My dad seems to think it doesn't look that bad which i mean i guess it doesnt but id rather have a doctor clarify that than just guess. The side of my head hurts
 
As "bluto in mo" said, eye injuries are not to be put off. I work in an ER and eye injuries initially can look benign but what happens when you wait up tmw with an ugly swollen infected eye? I'm just saying...
It should be looked at.

That's very true. I'm all for looking at it but my dad needs convincing and wanted to see how it looked tomorrow. But i did convince him to take me somewhere
