    Help With Chicken - Dry and Swollen Around Eyes

    Hi Everyone, I noticed a problem with one of my ladies this morning. She has been broody so I have not seen her much recently. With closer inspection, two of my other chickens might have the start of the same thing. Although it is hard to tell as they are older and might just be wrinkly...
