A pretty awful looking eye

[CynthiaMQ]

Upon examination of the pullet in questions eye today, the swelling appeared less and the yellow stuff, whatever it was was lessened. Still visibly this eye is in distress. I drenched the eye several times with colloidal silver water, and after this procedure could see something along the top of the eye, I gently grabbed what I could see, and it appears that there was a very small piece of debris, looked like shavings with perhaps a little hairy feathery type thing. I believe this may be part of the culprit, and there may be more, but I did not want to be too invasive. I will keep this topic updated with my findings tomorrow. It is important for us to learn, and I have learned something very important through this event and hopefully will learn more. If this is the culprit that caused such a disturbance within the eye socket of the bird, it is quite amazing, as it was just so small. Time will tell the tale. I will keep everyone apprised of my findings. Have that wonderful day, CynthiaMQ.

That little piece of debris

I agree, quite educational, and thank you for posting in such detail. You know, human eyes are extremely sensitive to a foreign body, and very easily scratched as well; scratching is often not visible without a special dye. I imagine chicken eyes are similar.
