One of our barred rock hens developed an infection in one eye about a week ago.
We've been treating it with polysporin and keeping it clean but it's just getting worse.
It's now swollen shut and exudes pus. Very hard to find her eye when you pry the 'eyelid' open.
She's gone from being the dominant hen to a shadow of her former self and has lost significant weight.
I've attached a photo.
Have you ever seem anything like this?
Any suggestions for treatment?
Thank you very much for any advice you can send my way.
