I just now got pecked by my 3.5 month rooster. I was cleaning the arm chair, he jumped on my back and when i looked back at home. Pukchaw!! the sound of peck on top of my eye. It was hard ,eyelid is swollen and now blood shot started appearing in my Sclera. I did saline wash. Dont know ,shall i go to emergency. I live alone , and no one to look after 8 chickens - 5 rooster and 3 hens ( 2 non laying) .
 
I am a new chicken Mama and I just got indoctrinated by my flock of four by the ole'
"peck in the eye" move. I do not see any blood but, it is a bit irritated. So, I learned my lesson and I am sure there are many more to come. lol

EDIT: I looked at my eyeball and the white part has become bloodshot on the left side and its still a bit irritated so, I think ill be ok.
