And, like yours, blind in one eye. See, she grew up just fine. When she was tiny, her eye "oozed" a bit, hence the daily patting with warm water. No ointments or medications. Evenually it stopped and just stayed like that. Her pupil looked as though it was always looking behind her and her eye...

Sure...here it is again. Her eye is clearly not OK. The pupil is inactive and the lids are almost closed. She's blind as a bat and adorable

It's OK. I'm sure you didn't do any damage. Just be very gentle. Yes, it sounds blind, but does it matter? You could take her to a veterinary opthamologist. However, unless your prepared to pay for surgery, I'd just assume she can't see out of that eye. Again, relax, she is fine. It is...

Once is enough. Otherwise you will make your sweetie nuts! Also, it will make you crazy. More than once a day will be too stressful for the little one. Don't "rub" just pat. Be sure the cotton ball is not dripping, but good and wet with warm water. A couple of gentle pats to clean it off will...

Yes, cotton ball, cotton square. You know, those things we use on our faces. I'm sure she is blind in that eye. Just keep it clean until the chick gets a bit older. Keep her safe. She will adapt to her lifestyle. None of the other chicks treated Kiki any different because her defect was not...

Your chick looks exactly the way Kiki looked at that age. I did not get ointment as I considered the damaged eye a "birth" defect. I did, however, very gently clean it with warm water on a cotton square. Very, very gently just dabbed it with warm water. It seemed to help in keeping it clean...

SGSF--- You sound like a new Mom who has no idea what to do about her new baby! Truly, as we have all said on this board, your "one-eyed" chick is fine as long as she can handle herself among the others. If she is past needing the heat lamp assuming she is not hanging with her Mom, then keep...

It sounds as though it is doing fine. Why is it horrible? She has one good eye. If she were completely blind, that might be a problem for her. I don't think it is as bad as you may feel. She is happy---eating, playing? Sounds good to me. Best,

I had a chicken with one good eye and she did just fine. As long as she is protected from preditors, just let her be. She may be a bit "directionally challenged" but other than that, it's just a bad eye. Again, the issue is predators. If she is suseptible to danger, she is at a big...
