    Left Eye swollen shut, looking for advice

    My 2 year old hen has a pretty bad eye problem. I'm pretty sure its from bullying. I'm looking for advice on how to diagnose and treat her eye. The photos from the coop are from 24 hours ago. The photos in the kennel are from tonight, it seems like the swelling has gotten slightly worse.

I now have two hens with swollen eyes, and a third who is very pale. One of the swollen eye hens is...

    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?

    What's wrong with my roos eye?

    Idk if he got into a fight with my other roosters which I removed him from a week or so ago. And he is able to open his eye all the way and it looks normal when he does. But still worried.

    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...

    My chick has an eye problem

    This chick of mine got pecked really badly by its mother on the scalp when it was younger. I'm talking about nearly losing its scalp. I managed to save it, and it's been doing really well. Eating, drinking, and overall just behaving like a chick. I've noticed that its eye became foggy. I assumed...

    I’ve got a chocolate Orpington chick that been getting its eyes stuck shut a lot. It started happening a couple weeks ago and I just thought it might be a cold or too dusty in the brooder. So I tried changing the substrate from shaving to a stringy hay with very little dust and added vitamins...
