Hello everyone! So i noticed that one of my new chickens acting kinda lethargic and is not very sociable as it stands somewhere in the corner and mostly doesnt do anything, at first i thought that it might be just her character and perhaps it is, as she would eat and occasionally went bathing in...
My hen's eye has been closed this past week & we've been treating her with Terramycin & Saline water in her eye.
Only the right eye is closed & she only opens it when I pick her up, managed to get a picture of it.
Left eye is perfectly fine. She's doing this weird jerking in her head which I'm...
Hi one of my hens right eye recently been closed and is swelling. I suspect one of my other hens pecked it as I checked inside the eye but didn't see anything stuck, but seems her eye is hurting. When I open her eyelids, I can see she's moving her eye & blinking, so seems functional...
I noticed Ruth, my 10mos LO, fluffed up earlier today. I went to check her and noticed one of her eyes were closed but there's no significant swelling or noticeable injuries. She can open the eye, just seems to prefer keeping it closed. I also noticed these grayish brown spots on her eyelid and...
Hi there, new chicken mom here hoping to receive some insight on what could be going on and possibly a way to help. I stalked this forum for the past 2 weeks but now I think I need to just make my own post about this.
I have a 16 day old chick who from the day I received her (3 days old then)...
Hi there, five days ago I found one of my four, 11 week old rhode island red chickens with one eye closed. She was lethargic and also hanging away from the others. I gave her electrolytes/neutredrench and took her to the vet a few hours later. Everything checked out okay at the vet (heart...
Hello everyone, after endless googling and reading so many threads and my poor chicken not getting any better over a week I thought I would finally ask for help. My 3 year old chicken Teri, I noticed her drooling and shaking her head about a week and a half ago and a few days after that, I...
We have a Sick bird I’m not really sure what is going on. This is my first experience with chickens and we live in an urban area. Saturday I noticed one of my 10 week old Americano was not hanging with the other chicks. I found her huddled up in the coop with one eye closed and was she was...
Does anyone know what’s wrong with my baby chick? She’s about 2 weeks old and her eye has been swelling for the past 4 days. Her eye is very watery and I assume a ball of puss is building up underneath her eye. She keeps it closed for most of the day.
I’m worried it’s a similar complication...
I have a Dark Cornish around 6 months of age and I noticed yesterday that she was standing around with one eye closed and one open. I wasn’t too sure if I was being paranoid and maybe something was bothering her but I noticed it again today.
Her behavior is still fairly normal, she is wandering...
One of our Americanas is keeping her eye shut constantly. She can open it and will every few minutes for a few seconds but keeps it closed other than that. Just started this afternoon. We checked her eye and there doesn’t seem to be any cuts or marks around it. No swelling or film.
Any ideas...

Hi all.
I purchased 3 young warrens around a week ago (first timer), yesterday I noticed 1 very lethargic, when looking closer I Noticed one eye was watering (clear discharge) and partly closed. A day later I noticed both eyes are watering (clear discharge only - not foamy/bubbly at all). There...
I have a chicken that had her eye closed, unfortunately i dont know for how long now. I set her apart from others and will keep an eye on her but any suggestions would be greatly appreciate here are some photos of her eye. It looks like there is a white film over the eye.
Good morning,
My little Easter Egger has been acting weird for the past 10 days. I noticed she had started losing weight and wasn’t as interested in her food as she usually was. There was some unusual pecking behavior , but she had been laying consistently and drinking tons of water. I have 5...
We just discovered that runner duck has one eye closed and is a bit off. The feathers around that eye look to be a bit matted, so there's probably discharge, although I can't see what the discharge actually is. I gave her a big bowl of water to dunk her head in, but from her standoffish...
