Hello-
My SIL called me frantic Saturday letting me know one of their Americana's eyes were sealed shut. I came over to help her, we got some warm water and soaked her eyes and the dried discharge started coming off, once we cleaned her up she opened her eyes a bit but then would close them again. Her eyes themselves are clear but there is a cloudy wet discharge coming from them. She also has discharge coming from her nose. It seems like the poor girl has a really bad cold but she isnt sneezing, no wheezing either.
Here is a photo from last night after we cleaned her eyes again. I personally havent ever seen this with one of my hens.
She is approx 8 months old, she is pooping but only eating or drinking with assistance.
I would love to save this sweet girl. Any help would be SO appreciated. She is inside, I had them put a small watt heat lamp on her to keep her warm. We did get her to eat some yogurt last night with help.
