I have a male and 2 emale india blue. The morning I discovered a second male sitting on top of peacock pen. If I add a second male to my flock willthey fight?
I have a flock of 100 something chickens - 5 mo. and up. I have 10 Turkeys 6 months or so. 1 peacock and 2 pea hens 1 + years and 4 guineas about 5 months. What is the best all round wormer and can I use it on all my fowl?
I agree with INDIANA HENS you have leg mites! Coat the legs and feet with vaseline. Do this about every other day , for 2 weeks. Good luck!! Check all of the birds in the run, they are very contagious!

I had a silkie that was broodie for about 8 weeks. She never sat on the same clutch of eggs. Played musical nest box. I finally had to remove her from the cop. I made a small temporary pen for her in the run, so she could not return to coop until I locked up at night. Of course make sure she has...

I would isolate her. Bring her in and get her rehydrated. Try scrabbling her an egg. or maybe some plain yogurt with a little banana. Sounds like you've treated the eye as I would. Just work on food and fluids. Try using an eye dropper. Lets us know how she is doing!!
Could they have leg mites? Are the scales on the leg large and rough looking? If so, you can use Vaseline or VetRX and coat the legs and feet real well. This will smother the mites and the legs and feet will heal. Good luck and keep us posted.
