Details (pictures included at the bottom of this post):
1) Buff Orpington hen, 7 months old
2) Yellow crust over the eye, definitely cannot see on that side (she's running into things)
3) Happened within the last 24 hours
4) No other birds exhibiting symptoms at this time
5) Might be an injury; there is a small spot of dried blood on the neck, about 1.5 inches away from the eye
6) We don't know how it happened, but we are pretty sure she did not have this issue yesterday
7) She eats standard layer feed plus free ranging
8) Poop looks normal
9) No treatments done yet; we're not sure what action to take at this time
10 ) Would prefer to treat first at home before resorting to veterinary service
11) Pics below
12) Typical coop with straw, cleaned once per week
