Good Morning BYC family!
We have an approx 8 month old hen, normal size and weight compared to rest of flock.
She had an eye infection about 2 weeks ago (eye was swollen shut) that we treated with terramycin applied 2-3 times a day for a week. Her infection appears fully cleared with no...
Hi everyone
My name is Becca, one of my Bluebell chickens (she’s about a year and a half old) has something very wrong with her eye. It was not like this when she went to bed last night.
When I let all the chickens out this morning from their 45’ x 16’ 12’ run to free range, I saw this. She has...
Hey all,
Just yesterday I noticed one of my two young Langshans (they are around 5 months old, and I suspect this one is a cockerel but who knows) was acting low and keeping his right eye closed. His crop was also completely empty. Upon further inspection, the eye looked milky and watery, so I...
Hey everyone. So I have a little birdie at my home who for very defensive today when my rooster came near his cage. He pecked my Brownie's left eye and now it is closed. I dipped some cotton in room temperature water (it was on the colder side) and pressed it over his eye.
The eye initially...
We have a 4 month old hen that has had eye issues from hatch. We purchased her from a feed store and realized that one of her eyes was very swollen. We did some research and the best we could determine, it was a birth defect causing her eye/eye socket to not be formed correctly. Her first week...
Today I noticed my Ameraucana hen was still alone. She is the smallest, but usually not a loner.
A closer look revealed that her left eye was missing.
I scooped her up, took her into the house and tried my best to squirt saline solution into her eye socket. Her eye was closed, of course, but...
Hi there im semi new to chicken keeping about year in next month in june and recently my rooster as suffered some kinda eye injury on may the5th and im not entirely sure what has caused it he seems to be keeping it closed on purpose there is no discharge or mucus or anything around the eyes or...
Hi guys!
I need help pleasee. I went to my coop and checked on the chicks that were supposed to hatch overnight, I found 3 which were perfectly healthy and fine but one which was under the small food tray without any skin on its head and multiple deep wounds to its skull, it was all bloody...
My chick seems to have injured her third eyelid. A strand of membrane is coming out of her eye that will not easily pull out. It looks like tissue, not any kind of worm. We did have a vet Zoom call a couple of days ago. At that point the eye just looked irritated and she couldn’t see the...
One of our girls has a mild eye issue that just happened in the last hour or so. Between some breezy days lately and high allergen content floating around in the air, it looks like an irritation rather than anything more. Of course, we don't have any NFZ Puffer on hand right now and since it's...
Good morning all,
I am a little confused and need your help. Friday evening I noticed my Ameraucana’s left eye was swollen, watery, and pretty much featherless. I have read articles advising to flush eye injuries with saline and apply Neosporin around the eye. Then other articles advise to...
Hello everyone!
So my rooster Francis (the rooster on my profile except he's all grown up and fabulous now) got attacked by two puppies we had (I gave them away) and he got some neck injuries.
Now he was recovering from that and he started eating and drinking on his own again until one of my...
Two of my young (8-9) month old roosters had a doozy of a fight yesterday. I found the one just sitting covered in blood. I isolated him to tend to his wounds and he is a lot livelier today. He is eating and drinking. But,his one eye is not opening. I tried to gently clean the area but,I didn't...
I have a mixed flock of 13 with 2 roosters, and yesterday, someone dropped a stray young cockerel in my yard. Needless to say, he and my dominant rooster had a run in, and my rooster's eye is shut. As he's a silkie and his eye and surrounding areas are all black, it's hard to tell what the...
