Pecked in the eye by a chicken??

[Anime2lover]

The scariest thing in the world: Seeing both of a chicken's eyes with it's beak perfectly center; UP CLOSE.
I've had chickens peck my eyes, teeth, nose, and even steal the food I'm putting in my mouth. They're quick!

True, they are.

Let us now what they say.

Sure. I'll keep you guys posted.

Just got home from the doctor. She said that there is no major damage on my eye but it will take 7 days to fully recover.

I am also pecked by my chicken. What worse is he is one of my favorites! He was just dancing to my toes then the next thing I know was he pecked my right eye. I could not open my eye for a day. It was swollen and sore. Gladly, the day after, I could finally open it but my vision is blurry. There is no blood nor scratch. Do I just have to wait for it to come back to normal? I am really worrying right now because I am having headaches (but now severe tho).

I got pecked in the eye by a turkey a while back. It should only be blurry for a couple days. Although, on some mornings when my eyes are particularly runny that eye tends to be more blurry. It shouldn't be too bad unless he pecked you really hard.

Have you ever got pecked in the eye by a chicken??? Hahaha just curious.

Yep! Twice!
Both times was by a month old cockerel that I hand raised. (Long story). I wasn’t looking him in the eye. He was just investigating. He has since learned not to, thank goodness, because WOW did it hurt!!!

Noted! It's been a week since this happened and my eye went back to normal.

I wear glasses all the time, and it's been a very good thing fairly often...

Just got it in the eye.

Our Welsummer, Chikira, was sitting on my shoulder "singing" (read: screaming). I guess she didn't much like my impersonation of her.

Can't wait to see how this looks in a few days.

Safety goggles next time I decide to sing back.

I have 8 4-week old buff orpington chicks and they're so sweet. Today I was adding more shavings to the back of the brooder and one of them pecked me right in the eye. It hurt so bad, but luckily it didn't do anything to my actual eye. Had my eyelid bleed though.

Hahah ya I got pecked in the eye before and... It hurt and my eyelid started turin red and puffy and when I got inside.. there was a SCRATCH in my EYE!!!! And it was all blurry in that eye, I did research to see what happens and it's s"pose to heal after 3 days and it did! I just had to learn that lesson the hard way

Just happened about 3 hours ago. Eyelid is puffy and blurry like you said.
