At first I thought it was in her eye, but looked again and it looks like it might be on her eye. It’s been in this position for 2 days. I have been putting an ointment in her eye for the last 2 days with no change. (Also pictured here)
She is constantly rubbing it and chirping, like help me...

he can open it now after i gently pulled it open as it had some yellow crust around it but theres a very small gash in his eyeball under his lower eyelid

My broody hen has been closing one eye and it seems cloudy almost like cataracts. She is just a year old. Does anyone know what it could possibly be? I thought maybe she got something in it and it was just irritated but it’s now looking cloudy and I want to help her. Any questions or advice...
Last week one of my hens developed a swollen face/eye. We consulted an online vet and were prescribed antibacterial eyedrops. These arrived on Tuesday and I'm not sure they're fixing the issue.
I now have two hens with swollen eyes, and a third who is very pale. One of the swollen eye hens is...
Hello! Thank you thank you thank you wonderful people again, this has been the most stressful spring and I can’t appreciate you all enough for your help.

I have a broody hen who is a couple days out from eggs hatching. I went to check on her today and noticed her eye. Watching her it looks like she will repeatedly blink until her eye looks “normal” but then quickly goes back to looking like this. Any suggestions on what it is or what to do for her?
Had a chicken hatch yesterday with this string like material attached to the corner of its eye.
In all my years of hatching ive never seen anytbing like this.
At first I just thought it was a fuzzy or something so I took a warm damp cotton pad and was able to get it into the corner and...
I have a young Silkie rooster with recurring goop in one eye—only one. A few days ago, I cleaned it with saline and applied an antibiotic eye ointment. It cleared up immediately. However, a day or two later, the discharge returned. I repeated the cleaning and treatment for three consecutive...
Hello everyone,
I have some concerns, I have a one year old Tom. For some reason I’ve just notice his eye has a white discharge and Idk what it is nor how to clean it. Is it bacterial or viral or just eye boogers. If so, the flock doesn’t have any of those issues just him. Can anyone help me...
Hi, I posted a thread about my chicken and I’m so thankful for people who responded to that one. I’m hoping to reach more people. My one year old chicken is not seeing properly, keeping her one eye shut and yesterday she managed to eat lots if I keep my hand close to her eye. She can’t aim and...
Help! I’m new to chickens and trying to do my best for them!
I have 4 hens that are 6-7months old. One of my black sex-link’s eyes is closed at all times, and when I hope the lids, her nictitating membrane doesn’t move/remains there so her eye looks cloudy.
No sign of respiratory illness - no...
Hello to anyone that can help. Just this morning I went outside after letting out the chickens from their coop and found all my chickens hiding. One chicken in particular was hiding under the hose coil. We found that she had been attacked and had a little cut on her head, but her eye is the...
This chick I hatched (I’ve named her maybelline), has a black line behind each eye. I thought it was dirt at first, but it’s bilaterally symmetrical. Anyone know if it’s something that warrants investigation, or is it just a weird feather marking?
I've read through the forum, looked at pictures and decided to try and post.
Background, I am in year 2 of a backyard flock. I had 4 until spring and transferred them back to a friend. In March, I got 4 chicks from Tractor Supply and in May got 4 more (two ended up being roosters) and then...
Hi! I had a chick hatch out 5 days ago and it was pecked and across the coop when I found it, it had a wing injury and I took care of it but I didn’t notice its eye was pecked until the next day. It was just shut, not swollen yet but not it’s very swollen and looks like a big piece of pus or...
Hi chicken experts, I’d appreciate your advice about what to do for my poor chicken! She seems to have gotten something lodged between her eye and eyelid: I uploaded a short video of what I’m seeing. It looks to me like a foxtail or maybe even a feather, plus some pus around it? I wrapped her up...
Hey guys,
You know that “when it rains it pours” thing? Yeah, I’m underwater, I already was, had a broody duck during a hurricane who refused to move. (She managed to hatch 6 fresh babies hatched over the weekend) Then we had a whole paycheck snafu, lost all the fridges and freezers worth in an...
Hi all. I have a 9 week old chick who was pecked in the lower eyelid 1 week ago. It started out with just a tiny amount of redness on the lower eyelid and the inner eyelid was slightly exposed. I started treating it with terramycin eye ointment three times a day two days ago and it’s getting...
My year old Easter Egger hen Arthur suddenly got ill, suddenly as in the past two days. We knew she had bumblefoot and I ordered a treatment kit I was just waiting for it to arrive when probably the day before yesterday she was kind of closing one eye and wouldn't free range she just stayed...
So today i noticed my hen being alot quieter than usual, so Ive had a look at her and the only things i can find wrong is this black spot coming out of her pupil, it seems like its irritating her as she has this eye shut most of the time, its dilating but only very slightly.
She also seems to...
