    I know this is a stale thread and I am not sure that you are still an active member but are you saying that you do not supplement your free-range chicken's with feed whatsoever?

    Hen suddenly acts blind with puss and significant swelling in one eye.

    I didn't notice any scratching but being a Holiday week I spent less time with the girls then I usually do.

    Hen suddenly acts blind with puss and significant swelling in one eye.

    Unfortunately I do not have a microscope but her eye looked identical to the one that I saw on this YouTube video. When I pulled her body out of the freezer I noticed that the swelling around her eye was gone and upon further inspection she now looks normal again. I can't figure out where the...

    Hen suddenly acts blind with puss and significant swelling in one eye.

    After doing some additional research I believe you are correct rbaker0345 and I believe it was eye worm which I have never even heard of! I am defrosting the corpse now for confirmation. I sure wish you had been here a few days ago, I would have been happy to treat her if that is the case! I...

    Hen suddenly acts blind with puss and significant swelling in one eye.

    ten chicks: I initially believed that it was just an eye infection of some sort and really hadn't considered a respiratory infection until Chicknmania mentioned it. After that, I listened to her breathing/clucking and I do believe that it was in fact a respiratory infection. The speed at which...

    Hen suddenly acts blind with puss and significant swelling in one eye.

    If Lysol wipes kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria I have a hard time believing that they "do basically nothing." Do you have any proof to support this statement? It was very disappointing to cull her but so far the rest of my chickens appear healthy and show no symptoms of any infection.

    Hen suddenly acts blind with puss and significant swelling in one eye.

    I decided to make the difficult decision tonight to cull my sick bird, I took a good long look at my other five hens and they all seemed very healthy with no appearance of infection. It was a very difficult decision to make but I decided preservation of my flock without antibiotics was my...

    Hen suddenly acts blind with puss and significant swelling in one eye.

    So are you suggesting that I cull the sick chicken to save the remainder of the flock from infection? I try my best to run an organic/antibiotic free backyard free range chicken community but I am willing to medicate if necessary to save a birds' life. However if as you say they will not be...

    Hen suddenly acts blind with puss and significant swelling in one eye.

    I will give her a good smell when I get home but I don't believe so. Thanks for the input!

    Hen suddenly acts blind with puss and significant swelling in one eye.

    Thank you for your quick response. Where do I inject the Tylan if I can get it from the feed store? How much should I give and where do I get the syringe and needle? Would it be better to order the Oxytet and wait for it to come in the mail? My concern is that it may be a tumor because her...

    Hen suddenly acts blind with puss and significant swelling in one eye.

    Please help, one of my six backyard hens suddenly is acting very sick with what appears to be puss covering her right eye and maybe not able to see out of the left either. Also she appears to be bleeding out of her left ear. Could this be an infection? Tumor? I hadn't noticed anything out of...

    Yes, you are right. White Plymouth Rock. Thanks for your thoughts.
