One of my chickens eyes is clouded and the pupil is smaller then it should be she isn't using it , Is she blind or is it infected? Its not swollen or bigger then the other one.
I have delt with eye problems before but they were much worse and didn't start out like this so I know its not from the other hens .

I also have a hen that...well has one eye...it got infected and we got it cleared up but as soon as it was unswollen we noticed the eye was gone....she does fine but its still open and could get infected again , I don't want to kill her because she is one of my favorites and I trained her to ride on the handle bars of my bike but is it possible that it will soon heal and the skin will connect?
and Welcome To BYC! X3 on posting in the Emergencies forum about your girls and how to treat them. Chickens can live perfectly fine with just one eye, if it looks infected now you'll want to clean it and put her on some antibiotics, just some antibiotic ophthalmic ointment you can get at feed stores is a good idea, just keep putting it in the socket for a couple of weeks until it looks healed, it usually won't grow over as such though, you will still see a socket.
