One of my hens sustained really bad injuries to her eyes from being attacked by another hen. She is almost totally blind -- one eye is 100% blind and the other I belive she can see movement and light and dark.
I wasn't sure if she'd ever fully recover, but after living in my house for about 2 months and a lot of care, she did! I thought long and hard about her future with us and I thought the best idea would be to build her her own space, and eventually add a silkie or 2 for companionship. I made a youtube video start to finish about how exactly I built everything step-by-step.
So far she is loving life and so much happier to be out of my basement and in the fresh air! She managed to find her food and water very quickly. I placed it in the middle of the pen and she kept bumping into it, then pecked at it a bit and discovered what it was.
