Is it her eyelid.. They have an eyelid in there eye that when there is an infection, or if there is an injury will cover the eye to protect it..
Is the chicken showing any signs of being sick? If not maybe it just got hurt and could be healing. You can use saline solution to clean it and...
I have a full grown rooster that never really learned how to crow right. He is a houdan (sp?) and when he crows its like " Cock a doodle.... aaeeekkk" So Its great, it makes him not very loud. I will have to get it on video!

Its a fun little page. I tell stories and take pictures of my chickens. If you have a facebook add me. I would like more chicken discussions too
