I noticed a pullet with pecked spots near both her eyes the morning I had to leave for 4 days. The person I had feeding and watering would do that but not any special care. When I got back I found the pullet had an infection in both her eyes. I brought her into the house, got antibiotics for her. She won't drink the antibiotic water so I mix her pellets into a soup. The infection seems to have cleared, no more sealed eyelids or foamy stuff coming from her eyes. Now I think she has gone blind. She doesn't react when I wave my hands near her face. When the infection was bad I needed to tap the food bowl so she could find it. If I move the bowl she can't find it until she walks into it. (She's in the bathtub.) I can't have a house chicken. How will she do out with the flock? Will she need extensive care? Should I have just culled her? When can I put her back with the flock?
