Hi Fancychooklady,
There is swelling around the eye. No snot or sneezing though.
She rubs her eye on her wing making it greesy looking and by doing so rubs the feathers over her eye into her eye and it's really hard to pull those little feathers out of her tender little eyeball!
I've been putting Teramycin gel in her eye for about 5 days now. She hasn't been near cockroaches and her eye was showing signs her first day out of the shell.
Continue with the terramycin gel. The eye may have been damaged or scratched during hatch. The right eye is the one they use for near vision and left for long sight, so if the vision is blurred it would be quite natural for it to be rubbing the eye. I have a one eyed hen and she is 7 years old.
The list of possibilities is long when dealing with poultry diseases and without vetinerary advice diagnoses is often a long shot.
Here is a link to help you .
