    Rehoming Muscovy Duckling

    I live in Jacksonville Florida and can’t seem to find a suitable home or rescue facility near me for a disabled duckling. She is blind in one eye and was born this way. She slowly started keeping her neck bent in the direction of the eye she favors so it affects her coordination but other than...

    Special needs chicken

    I may have inherited a partially blind chicken. She practically puts her face on the ground to hunt for food. 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?

    Possibly blind rooster, sick?

    Hello everyone m, My young rooster Rambo seems to have an eye that seems a little gray, which leads me to believe that eye might be blind. He sometimes let that eye closed, or like this morning, it looks like his eyelids are sticky and stuck together (1st picture). That eye always looks like...

    Blind Hen Getting Bullied

    Whenever I go out to the chicken coop, there is ALWAYS one hen, named Amber, who is up on the top roost. I'm pretty sure she's blind/visually impaired because she is not only afraid to get down from the roost, it also takes her several tries to get a beakful of food or water. She has pecked me...

    Hi My older lady seems to suddenly have gone blind, noticed last night when she wasn’t in the coop with the others. Found her and helped her onto a lower perch hoping if she fell she wouldn’t hurt herself. This morning I had to help her off the perch. She couldn’t find the food/ hanging...

    Huge Rat Attacked Quail at Night

    Story: So I go outside to check on my flock since I’m kind of traumatized (more paranoid than traumatized) to make sure the previous incident doesn’t happen😢, and I check on all: they’re good, I think till I was about to leave but I think why not check my solo quail buddies (have been trying to...

    Chicken with crust on face, cannot see out of eyes. Possible fungi/mite infection??

    Hello, I have some free ranging chickens and they all seem to have caught this disease that encrusts their face with bumps. I did some research and thought it could be mites or fungi, possible favus, but I am not sure. Can anyone help identify what it is and advise me as to how I should handle...

    Baby chick can’t see to eat or drink due to injury!

    I have a baby chick that cannot open either of her eyes. She cannot see to eat or drink. I’ve been using a syringe to give her drops of water with electrolytes. I’m unsure how much she needs and how often. I tried to give her scrambled eggs but she will not peck for food. Is there anything I...

    Lame hen went blind?

    Has anyone had a chicken with an ailment that caused lameness and, later, blindness??? This is an extension of my original post here. Please see for a more in-depth backstory. A little over a month ago, one afternoon, my year-and-a-half-old silkie hen started walking wobbly. Then, after about...

    Black Cochin hen going blind!??

    We thought Peeps must have been pecked in an eye. She kept keeping it closed so we treated the eye as if it was. She is losing weight and the hen who she hung out with her whole life is pushing her away. Took them for a walk yesterday and shes stumbling over things which are close and under...

    Olivia was one of our original 8 chickens in 2016. She was a gentle Plymouth Barred Rock in a coop and large run with 4 other Plymouth Barred Rocks, 3 Buff Orpingtons and two “Easter Eggers.” She lived peacefully among the other chickens. However, at about 6 months it became clear that Olivia...

    Half blind chicken reintegration??

    Recently I found one of my d'uccle banty hens with a pretty bad eye infection and treated her with eye medication and antibiotic. Her eye improved to the point where she can open it mostly with ease and theirs no more puss coming from it. But it is faded and there is no reaction from that side...

    Is there a way to test a chicken's vision?

    I have 3 silkie chickens that were born in April, when one of them was a few weeks old I noticed his eye was bigger than the other. Nothing came of it though and no symptoms of any possible disease showed and he has grown to be a happy healthy chicken. He's a very nice rooster as far as...
