Blind eye

[hockeygirl56]

I recently noticed one of my EE's has what I'm guessing is a blind eye. The pupil is cloudy, where the other eye is normal. She is the one that tends to get picked on the most, or at least she's the most scared of being picked on (runs away crying when her bully comes around, where the others stand their ground more). If the blindness came from being pecked in the eye, wouldn't I have seen more of an injury, or am I wrong? She has always been my klutz too - has a hard time getting down off the roost and vocalizes a lot before she'll fly back up onto it. She's been that way for a long time, but I just noticed her eye - so I'm not sure if I haven't noticed it this whole time and that's why she's so klutzy, or if it's a coincidence. Feel bad for her - just hoping the other eye doesn't go too or else I'm not sure what she'll do. Anyone with any experience with this?

'One eyed' chickens are generally on the nervous side because they are always unaware what is approaching from their 'blind side'. Unless the actions of the boss hen escalates, she should manage fine in the flock.
