Blind Chicken?

[Rosypetals]

i think my light brown leghorn is blind in one eye. Both eyes look the same, no difference, but when I hold out 1 mealworm, she misses every time. If I hold out a small handful she can get one, but she still has trouble. She is 4 months old. Any other things that it could be? I’m just worried for her. She is also super skidding, even though I held her so much as a chick. She is also at the bottom of the pecking order out of 8 chickens. They have plenty of space, she’s the smallest, but maybe another chicken pecked her eye? Is there any way to fix this? I don’t have access to any pictures of her right now. Anything helps, thanks!

Please post a picture of the eye so we can see. Both please

If you think she is blind slowly bring your finger/hand to her eye and see how she reacts. Don't move too quickly as she can feel the wind. Do this to both of the eyes

I’ll get a picture as fast as I can, and I did this to both eyes, and she kind of flinched in both, 1 more than the other. No matter what position she’s in she always knows what’s going on and it confuses me.
