One of my girls today has been very lethargic and one eye is bothering her. I saw her open it for a sec and it didn't seem red or anything. Just put an apron on her yesterday because she's been bullied and missing feathers. Wondering if she could have been pecked or scratched because she's lower...
My problem is resolved but I thought I'd post so other's could see what treatment worked since it seems people will post their problem but not follow up with what worked and how the animal is now doing.
My ducks inner eyelid looked like it was torn and was so swollen she couldn't close the...
Hi I literally just bought 4 guinea hen chicks yesterday from Tractor Supply. I only wanted a couple but the guy said US Agriculture only allowed 4 or more at a time. After he boxed them up for me he told me he gave me a couple smaller ones that probably won’t make it. 😳 One is slightly smaller...
Hello everyone,
My gorgeous girl Rosemary has been walking around with an eye closed (on and off) for the last 3 days, yesterday I noticed it was watery and today on closer inspection this is what I can see. It’s my first year of keeping chickens and I don’t know what’s wrong and I’m quite...
Hi,
feeling pretty desperate. My hen had slow crop/sour crop and has been lethargic but after treating her with nystatin she is improving. However, she’s not back to 100% and I’m noticing her rubbing at her eyes and her nictitating membrane is really visible quite often.
It’s as though the...
Ok everyone, I just had twelve little chicks delivered to me from a breeder. Two were lost in shipping (somewhat expected I guess) and I just noticed this. This little one seems to have no eyes or have severe matting of some kind of coating over the opening of the lid. What should I do? It’s...
Hi all! The first two pictures are her right eye on day one and day two. The last picture is her other eye ( I snapped a picture when she was sleeping ). I have been researching and keep coming back to an injury, but both of her eyes have problems which leads me to think it's an other issue...
Hi all.
I purchased 3 young warrens around a week ago (first timer), yesterday I noticed 1 very lethargic, when looking closer I Noticed one eye was watering (clear discharge) and partly closed. A day later I noticed both eyes are watering (clear discharge only - not foamy/bubbly at all). There...
Hi, my young pullet, probably about 6 weeks old, has something wrong with her eye this morning. Please help me identify it. Her brother died mysteriously 2 nights ago but his eyes were fine. I’m hoping it’s unrelated. Once I know what it is then I can try find out how to treat it.
Hi all, I have an 18-month old Australorp chicken who seems to have an issue with her eye. See pics. She has been a bit lethargic the last few days and my husband saw her have diarrhea. Now, she is walking around with one eye closed. She is able to open the eye, but primarily keeps it closed and...
Help! My Japanese quail kept one eye shut all yesterday and today she has been very sleepy, fluffed up and listless. She is one year old. Her eyelid looks a little bit pink and a tiny bit swollen. She is still pruning herself, laying, pooping (normally) and has had a drink. She also has a big...
Chicken newbie here.
Flock of six have all been sneezing, occasionally with clear discharge from nostrils. Otherwise eating and drinking well (not laying yet).
But looking at this chicken up close, I wonder what is that brown stuff below is eye? And the crusty stuff belong the nostril? Other...
I have an almost 3 year old buff orpington hen who's left eye has all of a sudden changed. She acts normal, looks overall healthy but I'm not sure why it has changed. The pupil is slightly irregular shaped while the eye is a lighter color. The other eye is completely normal. She's lived with the...
Ok so I have no idea what’s going on it’s hard to get a picture but I tried I’m think maybe a worm or just pus I been cleaning it and putting VET RX on it I’m scared to pull it out because it’s a worm I don’t want it to stay in there but if it’s pus I don’t mind pulling it out it was super...
Looking for advice please!
I adopted two injured 16mth old Isa Browns from a farmer 2-3wks ago. He thought one had bumped her eye in transit so I took her in hoping to give her a good home while she recovered.
The eye has swollen dramatically and after some research (I'm very new to all of...

Hey everyone,
After a long hiatus due to school, I got back into chickens last week. I acquired two 4-5 month old pullets from a guy with a bunch of chickens, who looked healthy and has sold many chickens to other people. Anyways, I didn't see pullet #1 up close and personal before she was...
Alright guys I need some help! One of our chicks got hurt last night and I’m not sure how. I think she may have shoved her head through the chicken wire of their coop and injured herself pulling it out but it’s just a theory. Anyway, this happened a little over 24 hours ago. I’ve got her inside...
Hi everyone,
We had our first (!) hawk attack yesterday. I usually let the chickens free range in my backyard, which is in a suburban area. At about 2:30, I heard some loud clucking noises and turned around, and saw a hawk clutching one of my 4-month old pullets (she was lying completely...
