Hi
My older lady seems to suddenly have gone blind, noticed last night when she wasn’t in the coop with the others. Found her and helped her onto a lower perch hoping if she fell she wouldn’t hurt herself. This morning I had to help her off the perch. She couldn’t find the food/ hanging galvanized feeder. I lowered it some and put a bowl of pellets under it. She ate eagerly from the bowl. A little later I found her in the run drinking from large water bowl, but I also placed one near her food in the coop, I know not ideal but it’s a small closed container with the cup waterers attached.
I have read thru some threads. She seems totally normal other than loss of vision. Eating/drinking, she’s active and standing tall walking normally. Her comb is nice and pink and not droopy. I didn’t take pictures but her irises are still orangey/yellow her pupils are the same size just dilated.
I cleaned their feeder and put fresh food in. Coop is dry and doesn’t smell of ammonia.
