Here are some more pictures- SHE STILL HAS HER EYE! :celebrate
We're going to go get some more sterile saline for cleaning and compresses and I've got Terramycin eye ointment on its way- hooray for next day shipping, right?
Something good that has come out of this is Lenore has always been one...
Also, in the video those poor chooks had GINORMOUS swollen eyes, her's is flush with her skull and kind of sunken in.
I'll get a bunch more pictures in the morning.
Thank you!
Thank you for the advice!
I don't mind "icky" at all, I just want my gals to be happy and healthy.
One thing that sort of makes me nervous is it seems like anytime I've seen in a forum an eye injury, everyone starts screaming "CORYZA! OMG!" and it makes me scared for the rest of my flock!

I make it a practice to check our flocks' feet every few weeks as they are free range and I want to head off any problems. Everything is...
Hey everyone, I wanted to do an update!
So Rita hatched her one lonely egg, and we snuck in some babies the next day! They are a happy little family blissfully occupying the bungalow.
Hey there! I succumbed to the siren song of peeping chicks at Farm and Home and came home with chicks. 😂
So the chick in question was supposed to be a cinnamon queen (my son picked her out, her name is Jasper) but looking around the internet- this does not look like a cinnamon queen. There were...
Oof, I hope it wouldn't be regular! My poor girl! 😂
She's the sweetest little thing, so patient with the kids and follows me all around "just hanging out" as my son says.
We're NEW (in our first year) at the whole chicken owning thing, so please bear with me.
So here's my weird question- could a bantam have laid the middle egg in the picture?
My Silver laced Wyandotte lays the darker brown egg in the picture, so I don't think it's hers, my other two standard...
