Poor baby - hope she recovers quickly.
Use a saline flush and follow up with terramycin ophthalmic ointment. You can usually get that at Tractor Supply. If you can't get it you can use regular neosporin without pain killer. Probably 2x daily.
If it develops pus in the eye - you will need to remove it. There are videos on this forum that shows how to do that.
Thank you! Yep that's exactly what we did. 2 wire dog crates in the enclosed run.Smart to find and separate the culprit. Sometimes a simple separation will be enough to put the separated bird down a notch or two on the hierarchy scale. Chickens are constantly vying for top spot whether we see it or not, sometimes it is simple, sometimes more outlandish. I have never used pinless peepers so I cannot say anything for or against them.
Glad your girl is better today! Hope things work out all around.
Also note, that the longer the birds are separated the harder reintegration will be. If you can keep them in a "look, no touch" scenario. A dog crate inside the coop/run does well in this environment.
