    Hen has severe eye issue, antibiotics not responding

    If she is being picked on by one chicken I would put that chicken in quarentine by itself. The other chickens may actually help the blind chicken. Our chickens left a chicken in the coop with the blind chicken. We would see the 2 of them off by themselves free ranging. The blind bird will find...

    Hen has severe eye issue, antibiotics not responding

    She will be able to function fine. Our blind chicken does great. She will even venture out on her own. Food and water, new coop, new free range area all have been no problem.

    We have a blind chicken that does very well BUT she was not always blind. She knew how to eat and do chicken things before becoming blind. A chick might be a different story. 😞

    Colorado Chickens!

    For a long time one of our flock would stay with our blind bird in the coop and run. They rotated this duty. Now they don’t bother babysitting her. She functions very well on her own! The Turkens are 8 weeks old so pictures aren’t to good. We call this one hawk.

    Colorado Chickens!

    Interesting about the crooked toes and bad legs. I noticed several of our flock has crooked toes. I used 2x4 lumber turned so the narrow edge was up for roosts. The birds cannot wrap their toes all the way around the perch. I just learned birds lock their toes around the perch when they sleep so...
