    My hen is blind

    Our 6 month old hen has been acting strange the past few months; walking into fences, walking into other chickens and avoiding the flock completely. We had a feeling she was blind or something wrong neurologically. On closer inspection we’ve found her eyes are indeed cloudy which is...

    Can chickens go blind?

    Somehow that seems like a silly title, but my old girl (who isn't old) has not been right since about September last year when she did a major moult and stopped laying, and is yet to start again. This isn't really a big worry, but she is slow to join the girls for breakfast, and is very unsteady...

    Blind chicken wont open eye anymore-

    Hi! Pictures will come soon, or tomorrow, i really don't know. To explain it immediately I can't see anything wrong with her but I should probably start with the situation. She's always been blind in one eye, I have no idea why it kind of just happened and she's been like that for probably her...

    Sweet Blind Chicken needs home

    Hello, brand new member here. Actually so excited to find this forum for other birds. My husband rescued a blind chicken from a relative's house. Likely due to ammonia it appears. She is sweet, however, the other birds are picking on her of course, so we have to keep her separated. I am not sure...

She stays close to her “sister” The breeder offered a replacement but she’s so sweet I rather just love her. Anyways, what are some “special needs” chicken things I need to take care of?

    Is my old near-blind chicken okay

    Hello all, I have had my chicken Nancy for 4 years. She came to me, as a pet, from a family who had to move, guessing she was 5 then, so close to 9 by now. She has been a wonderful gardening companion for years. In the past four months, it appears she is having trouble seeing. She used to help...

    Blind chicken- can eyes rot away?

    Hello! My 4.5 year old Maran has had an ongoing eye issue. It started with a slight change in shape of her eyeball and her iris got bigger. She is clearly blind in that eye. She also has waterbelly and we drain as needed. Vet said it’s probably a tumor or cancer pressing on her eye. A few days...

    Blind chicken

    I have a chicken that has hatched. It has no eyes. How do I teach it to eat or would putting it under a broody hen so she can raise it be a better choice?

We can’t give her a good enough home here, and if anyone is in or near our location who takes in injured or disabled hens, we need to rehome her FAST before she gets so badly hurt that there might...

    Blind, lethargic chicken - Won’t Eat

    Hi there, I am writing on behalf of my 8 month old (amercuna?) rescue chicken. I took her in 2 days ago as what I thought was just a blind chicken, but now I am starting to think there is more going on with her. Today she slept most of the day (separated from the flock in a dog crate) and barely...

    Blind chicken

    ...the friendliest of the 3 and definitely my favorite of the bunch. She can be fed by hand easily enough, however, I haven't been able to get her to drink which is my main concern. Has anyone raised a blind chicken? Or am I just increasing her suffering by keeping her alive? Thanks for any advice

    White Cloudy Eye Infection

    We noticed our chicken had a swollen eye she was keeping shut almost a week ago. She has been on a topical antibiotic from the feed store ever since, and the swelling has come down and she seems to be in less discomfort from it. I am wondering if anyone has experienced this before and has some...
