    Eye Injury or Infection

    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?

    Maybe she’s born with it…..

    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?
