    question... could it be something you can't catch from another chicken?? If so, could that be a hint as to what it is?? She has been inside (alone) since the attack... before that, was with my others, but nobody else has this.

    ok to recap, my hen got attacked by the rest of my flock, she got pretty bloodied but is healing well. While healing, her eyes started to get wet. Today they are worse. Her left eye was stuck shut and her right eye was pretty foamy. I cleaned it off but I'm thinking I probably need to treat...

    I can make a saline mixture for the eyes by boiling water and adding some baking soda. Would that be ok? (of course you cool it before using) I'll look it up to be sure but I'm thinking it's 1 tsp of baking soda to 2c of water. I thought maybe she looked sleepy at times, but I could be...
