    URGENT HELP! Hen with weird, swollen eye

    This morning when I went to feed her, I saw her with a weird looking eye. Appears to be swollen especially at the top. Her eyes seems to be half opened. Is there any treatment for this...? Like home remedy? In addition, for the past few months she has been exhibiting broody behaviour.

    Recently, I'd discovered that only one of my pullet (out of 10) has this unusual thing at her back: there seems to be blood (dried) at the holes (where the feather comes out). is this something that I need to panic about? Is it unusual (and why)?
