Hi!

This girl is a little over a month old. She is part of a small, young, variety flock that are still in the brooder at this time.
Her right eye is posed to look waaaaay backwards, and I haven't been successful in fixing it. I have tried VetRx in the water, in a daily misting, and in the roof of her mouth. I keep the water with probiotics and electrolytes. I have tried a little bit of tetramycin ointment.

There isn't any drainage or goo, and she eats and drinks and poops well, and doesn't seem to be feeling badly.

What can/should I do?

Can you try to get a clearer picture of the open eye? Where did she come from—a hatchery, a feed store, breeder, or from your own egg? Have you seen any signs of mycoplasma (MG) before? Could she have been pecked in the eye? I would flush her eye with a little saline or eye wash, and apply either Terramycin eye ointment from a feed store, or plain Neosporin or Triple Antibiotic Ointment twice a day.
