This chicken has been scratching its eye off and on for several days. I mainly only notice it when it is in the roost. It would also shake its head then too. Again only in the coop/roost, when in the run area seemed fine. It is eating and drinking good. But a few days ago I noticed a scab under...
My 2 yo welsummer hen Turbo is experiencing a very swollen eye, roof of her mouth, and nostril. Noticed last night, but no other issues (eating and drinking okay).
This morning checked on her again. Her nostril, eye, and roof of mouth were even worse. Cleaned her up, drained the abscess of as...
One of my Buff hens (two years old) wouldn't come out of the hen house this morning and was looking a little unbalanced (not sure if that was because it was dark in the house or the eye was shut). When I picked her up I noticed one eye way shut (it didn't seem swollen) and the other was weepy...
Hi All.
I have a black Cochin hen where it seems like the tissue around the eye is swollen. I have pictures below. One picture of her swollen eye, and one of her good eye. Does anyone know what this is?
I have a new Pearl Guinea chick that was born about 2 hours ago today and his left eye is protruding and swollen with this sack like substance over his eye. I do have pictures.
This baby chick barely opens its left eye, and it is a grey foggy color. Today we checked it’s eye again and it looks as if it’s buldging! What should I do, what can I do, any idea what’s wrong? Having a hard time uploading image hopefully it shows

I seen my one Barnevelder eye looked as though she was crying with a tear drop in the corner of her eye. Her other eye looks totally fine. The next day it had more of a tear kind of foamy in it. Attached are photos does anyone know what this is and what I should do? Is it contagious?
We bought chicks of various breeds around Easter.
Problem:
One's eye was shut, and swollen all around it (6-7 days ago now). We thought it was pecked or something, as there were no other signs we noticed wrong with it (eats, drinks, moves around fine, good balance, very active when washing out...
I have a 4 week old chick that I just noticed seems to have slightly buggy bulging eyes, and she's been walking around a bit squinty today. I've been at work so I'm trying to keep an eye on her from the chick cam... She seems to be eating/drinking/preening fine, crop is currently full. She is a...
Apparently one of our silkies was dust bathing and another chicken kicked dirt into her eye. Now it is closed and kind of sunken. Should I wipe the eye with saline or what? I can provide pics if necessary..
Thanks for any help!
Hey guys, we have 17 baby Koekoek chicks and one of them seems to have an issue with its lower eyelid. It's only half-open, would like to know what the thoughts are in a poll. They are all 1-month old, eating well and running around.
Note: I have eased the lower eye-lid down with my finger and...
I've had this chick for roughly a week and I've noticed her right eye is missing. Her beak is fine and doesn't appear to be having any other problems, however I was hoping to get any advice on caring for her that I can. That goes for immediate or preventive action. I can post a picture of her...
Ok, this is a highly disturbing story. If you choose to read it, don't say I didn't warn you.
I have a 3.5 week old unknown feather footed bantam. At two weeks of age he had this weirdness happen, here's the story.
So thankfully I keep my chicks in the living room. Early one morning I...
Help!
I came home to find my bronze orlopp turkey (full size, and my favorite bird in my whole flock) sitting in the snow outside in their run with her head down. Upon inspection we found blood splatters on the side of the coop and the area around her eye had been removed to the bone with her...
So about two days ago I noticed my "mystery breed" hen's eyelids looked slightly puffy, but she isn't friendly enough to let me get a close look. She was outside eating and drinking, acting TOTALLY normal. So I blew it off that maybe she got pecked in the eye.
TODAY I let my chickens out and...
One of our hens, a golden buff, has an eye that appears to have something in it, filling the entire pupil. I have pictures down below - does anyone know what this is and if it's dangerous? As a side note I noticed this almost 2 months ago but chalked it up to the flourescent lights.
Normal...
Please help! When letting my birds out this morning I noticed one of my Araucana hens wouldn’t open her eyes and is very puffed up. In another flock, one of my roosters had been picked on to the point of bleeding in his comb. I have separated both and dont know how to further assist them. The...
I’m honestly not sure where to post this, I’ve searched the website but was unable to post anywhere else. My chicken has something white in his eye, I tried to removed it but it seems like it’s attached to the outer corner?
I’ve attached a picture, anything feedback would be great! Thanks.
Wondering if anyone else had had a hen with this kind of skin lesion? The grey bald area had been present for a few months - doesnt seem to be bothering her but has been traumatised by another hen or possibly her a couple of times in last month or so. It now intermittently bleeds then scabs...
