Looks like one of the others may have pecked or pulled it. Could you get a picture of the eye opened?

She was eating watermelon. That’s what’s hanging from her beak

I have had hens close their eyes before, and then it would get better the next day or so. I would just keep an eye on her and make sure there aren’t bubbles in her eyes or any nasal discharge. Sometimes Easter eggers can also have eye problems because of their beards.

If she does begin nasal discharge what would you recommend?

If that happens, I would recommend starting a thread asking for help. Most likely it would mean a respiratory disease or something, but not always. I don’t know so much about them, but others do. (I don’t think that’s what this is, but we’ll see)

No. Sadly we had to put her down.

Oh no, really? I’m so sorry. I’m sure you did the right thing.
