    Injured 5 Week Old Chick - Maybe blind

    Alright guys I need some help! One of our chicks got hurt last night and I’m not sure how. I think she may have shoved her head through the chicken wire of their coop and injured herself pulling it out but it’s just a theory. Anyway, this happened a little over 24 hours ago. I’ve got her inside...

    Blind chicken

    2 days ago I had a chicken get pecked in both eyes and her head. I moved her to a pen alone and treated her wounds. Im not sure if she has eyes anymore really. She hasn't opened either since it happened. She's doing pretty well and is perky but I'm struggling with getting her to eat. I tried...

    Female Muscovy duck with eye issue

    This spring I bought 3 Muscovy ducks, two females and one male. Since the start I noticed that something was a bit different with the right eye of the white female. During the summer months it didn't seem that bothered with the eye but now that the weather is around -3C to +9C here in Norway...

    Blind one eye, Light Brahma born spring 2019. Ideas?

    I got a Light Brahma 4 weeks ago, she was born this spring. After a few days I noticed she was keeping 1 eye closed, could not see injury or discharge, nostrils clear. Her eye looked like it was set too far back with too much of the pink part showing in corner. Not sure if she could still see...

    A blind Goat

    Hi, I'm fairly new to the site, but I keep goats along with my various poultry and I'm hoping I can ask a question about them here. I have a goat, who on Friday June 7th was behaving strangely like he couldn't see well. On closer inspection I found his eyes were cloudy and looked inflamed on...

    How do I feed my now blind pullet?

    A terrible accident happened today involving a pullet, I don't know how old she is but at least a few months. At least one eye is gone, and she won't open either eyelids so I don't know about the other, but basically, I don't know how to feed her. She's probably in pain, she's just been sleeping...

    Lethargic, won't eat or drink, seems to have trouble seeing

    My girl is not doing well, so this post may be a bit long trying, to give as much detail as possible. HISTORY She is middle aged (not sure exact age), has two friends who are perfectly fine, but has taken a turn for the worse. I think she might be a golden sussex, but I'm not positive...

    Blind chicken, stones for gizzard, dilemma...

    Need some advice with this situation as I’m not sure what to do. I have a blind (mostly blind, I found out he can see some light and objects) serama rooster who is two years old. He does not eat on his own. The way I feed him is that I take regular chicken feed, add warm water to it, let it...

    Smashed chickie head

    My 14-16 week old Maran/Silkie mix chick has a bad habit of trying to run into the house under our feet. Yesterday my dad was letting our dog in from outside and as he was shutting the door, the chick came from out of nowhere and got his head caught in the door. More specifically, his eyes...

    Blind duckling

    We received our first ever ducklings yesterday and they're so cute! We got a Saxony, a Black Swedish and a Chocolate Runner. As it turns out, our little CR appears to be blind. I don't mind helping her out with feedings and watering but I'm nervous about eventually moving them outside. Though...

    Duckling eye problem worsening

    Hi, I've been posting threads for the past few weeks in regards to my now five week old white crested. She has an infection in her eye (we think from getting to close to the heat lamp as a baby) I have been rinsing it with saline and applying Terramycin to her eye, but it does not seem to be...

    Weak chick, won’t eat or drink, droopy wings....

    my local feed store got in a shipment of chicks. I know the owner and she told me that the shipping company lost the chicks, and so they arrived 24hrs late. Some had sadly died and some were very weak. I took two home that seemed fine. Then I noticed one of them wasn’t eat or drinking. Or really...

    Post-Predator (Dog?) Attack: Mute Chicken Survivor

    I regret to say that I attended a wedding last weekend and came back around 11pm to close my free-ranging chickens in their coop. I was horrified to come home and find: first, what I perceived to be a skunk slither out of one of the nesting boxes; second, several chicken corpses within a 20-ft...

    Year old Hen suddenly blind

    So about two days ago I noticed my "mystery breed" hen's eyelids looked slightly puffy, but she isn't friendly enough to let me get a close look. She was outside eating and drinking, acting TOTALLY normal. So I blew it off that maybe she got pecked in the eye. TODAY I let my chickens out and...
