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...

The following did work for my chicken
Swollen eye, closed by eye lid swelling, weeping, the smell of necrotic tissue. Read on and you will find out why it got that far along. Early intervention is best.
7.00 Baytril 2.5% Injection.
Given 0.6 mL orally twice a day for 5 days (crop feeding)...
This spring I bought 3 Muscovy ducks, two females and one male. Since the start I noticed that something was a bit different with the right eye of the white female.
During the summer months it didn't seem that bothered with the eye but now that the weather is around -3C to +9C here in Norway...
Hi everyone!
I went to my dads today and one of my hens has a swollen red spot above her right eye.
It’s isnt obstructing her vision and she looks and acts completely normal aside from her little lump (so no mucus or weeping or anything like that), there was also no abrasion and the other eye...
I have a 6 month Roo who I noticed today and a milky eye, he keeps it closed, so it must be painful. Otherwise he seems “okay” he is still walking fine, although slowly. He however is not eating or drinking. Is more docile than usual. Could it be mareks? Or just an injury and the pain is...
Hi everyone! This is my 7 year old boy, Edwin. For the last couple of weeks I've noticed he has had the feathers around his eyes looking a bit "dirty". They have access to drinking water they can get their heads into and a small bath in their enclosure. After noticing this I've made a special...
Hi everyone! So i have a d’uccle thats eye seems to be a little messed up. I noticed a couple days ago, but i thought maybe she just accidentally got pecked. I rinsed with some saline & left it alone. The next day, it looked .. foggy? That freaked me out and when i looked some things up it said...
This is a 6 month old frizzle Cochin bantam. He got into a fight with one of the flock mates and as a result this happened. I think his eyelid was torn and is now just flappy and rubs on his eye. This just happened today. I don't know if I should trim it off since I'm assuming it'll never...
Hello all!
I was experimenting letting my Broody hen raise a chick she hatched and she was doing a great job the whole first day, very protective from the other chickens. However the other chickens must have caught her off guard at some point because I found the 3 day old chick with a huge...
First, thanks to everyone who has offered advice and support for little Henrietta! She was bullied at the store by the larger & stronger chicks and was in trouble. She's clearly a very strong little gal. She battled for life a day or two before being noticed. I imagine that coming into such...
My buff orp has a badly infected eye. Haven't yet worked up the courage to Lance it, but have been treating it with an ophthalmic terramycin 2/day.
Have read a lot of threads about similar stuff, but not as many with good outcomes documented from specific treatments.
If this gel does not it...
I had a silver apple yard hen only about 9 mos. old. She was a runt and pretty much unable to lay eggs, every time she did lay an egg, they were very tiny or not well formed. Two days ago she didn't want to come out of her house in the morning, I thought maybe because she didn't want me to...
I have a 2 yo buff Orpington that has a swollen face around her right eye. It came on in a matter of hours, she was fine when I let them out in the morning yesterday, then in the afternoon it was swollen. I gave her .5ml children’s Benadryl yesterday, along with some antibiotic ointment on the...
I just hatched some chicks this past Saturday and today I realized that one of my chicks eye doesn't look normal...
Sorry that the picture isn't very clear. He seems to be able to see okay but this eye also looks a little bit watery.
Thoughts?
We just noticed this morning and it couldn't have been going on more than a few days. Her other eye seems fine, and she is acting totally normal. I don't notice anything weird with any of the other chickens either. I tried looking up exactly what it was but couldn't find any pictures that looked...
