So I have a silkie I found yesterday that started with swollen eyes and some yellow gunk on the inside of the beak where the nares are. A few hours later the inside of the beak swelled up and the throat seems to be swollen too and she has mucus coming from her eyes and nose but it is not crusty...
Hey Everyone, I have a 1 yr old speckled sussex whose eyes have looked strange for a few days now... they are always half closed, maybe a little swollen. She was acting much like her other 3 flockmates, pecking/scratching/preening/laying and pooping normally, as far as I can tell - but it seems...
My male pilgrim goose is 9 weeks old now and he is getting more beautiful each day! It seems like he is close to full grown. I have seen pictures of adult male pilgrim geese with very blue eyes, but his seem to be very dark still, and I was wondering at what age I should expect to see his eye...
Hi everyone, hoping someone can help out here. I have four hens: one Australorp, one Isa, two Silkies. Today I noticed that the Australorp's left eye has some darker brown patches in the iris. AS far as I can tell the pupil is the same size as the right eye and a normal round shape. The right...
I made a post earlier about this, but I figured I have a different question and needed a more specific thread. I hatched a chick out yesterday, she wasn't moving around very well (not as well as all her other siblings) after moving them all to the brooder I went to check on them and noticed she...
Hi, I recently got chicks from a local pet store a couple days ago. I give them food and water and all that stuff.
But, last night, one of my chicks started to make some weird noises and I’m concerned. I’m not sure if its a sign of something or just stuff in their nose. She doesn’t make the...
Hey everyone. As you all know, I am a wildlife rescuer. However, here in our area we don’t get ducklings often. We were called to pick up this little one who needs help desperately. Does anyone know what this is? All help is appreciated.
hi, i have a polish rooster that i think has heterochromia, if chickens can have heterochromia.
here he is- his name is louis
it’s a bit hard to capture on camera- i’ll catch him and take a better picture if anyone wants one.
anyways, i recently bred him with some of my hens (ameraucanas)...
Hen was missing yesterday afternoon but came home to roost last night. Now I realize she was probably missing because she couldn't see her flock...
Found her this AM with eyes closed/swollen. I figured she was stung or something. Washed her head with hydrogen peroxide then with betadine to...
Hello chicken community, I have an 8 wk old black Australorp pullet who keeps closing her eye for prolonged periods of time. When I first noticed it I thought she was sleeping but then she started walking around with her eye still closed. She was completely fine this morning and I feel bad for...

Hello,
We just got our new flock of 8 chicks this morning. Everything seemed fine but this afternoon I noticed that one of my salmon faverolles had what looked like yellowish liquid on its back and the feathers around the eye. She's keeping one eye shut most of the time. We tried to clean it...
I have a young lavender ameraucana (sp?) Cockerel with lighter eyes than the rest of my flock. He seems to be okay, other than he is very sensitive to light changes, and doesn't seem to have peripheral vision. He follows movent in the front, but doesn't react to anything beside him, unless it...
Our silkie rooster has been very violent lately but that is to a whole separate hen. This particular hen, Judy has had some white crunchy stuff on her wing feathers. They aren’t fluffy and full like the other two silkies. She’s separated from the other two her in flock. She is in a clean tub...
So ive had "issues" with my polish rooster since I got it at a few days old.(5/28/2020) from the start I noticed it had crusties around the eye even had the eye crusted over a few times in between cleanings. I would use Q-tips with warm water to moisten and clean and would use coconut oil to...
Please if the following two videos can be seen by experts and if i could be told ehat treatment regime to follow, i would be grateful..

Hi everyone, im new to chickens and this is my first flock. I have 11 chickens and a rooster all about 13 weeks old now and free range. About a month and a half ago, I started noticing one or two chickens with a reddish and puffy eye. About two/three weeks later, about half the flock had at...
So our black swedish hatched 2.5 days ago now, had a bit of a troubled hatching with the yolk sac, but we're mainly worried about it's eyes. It looks like they're goopy or stuck shut...? We feel so bad cause she can't see anything, and must be so scared.
We keep trying to gently wash them out...
I just discovered that one of my chickens' eye is injured. She was keeping it closed so I figured it was some minor irritation or something but when she opened it I found that instead of brown, it was a solid cloudy red color like it was filled with blood or something. I couldn't see the pupil...
