So today I let my chickens out of the coop as usual when I noticed my one hen was acting a bit off and then I noticed her eye. I've never had this happen before so I'm not quite sure what to do. I saw on another post to open the eye, flush it with saline solution, and put antibiotic cream on it...

Hello. We bought 3 hens (a Brahma and 2 Cinnamons) from a man here in NW Missouri on Wednesday. He had just purchased them the same week at a Missouri auction, and the Brahmas had come from an overcrowded situation so they had no feathers on their backs. (I noticed a Cinnamon with one eye...
