Hi everybody... I have a black australorp hen around 8-9 months old. We keep her (and 2 other australorps) with some ISA Browns, and even after a few months of putting them together, the ISA Browns (older) tend to bully the australorps a lot.
Yesterday, we saw one of the australorp's eyes to be sort of swollen shut, and she keeps it closed, and when she can open it, it's swollen and glassy. Other than that, she seems to be fine (eating, drinking, and pooping well... responsive and friendly to us, although obviously kind of flighty around the ISA Browns). We do believe it was an ISA brown that pecked her eye and injured her, but it could also be an eye infection maybe? We cleaned it with saline solution once yesterday, and nothing else yet.
I attached pictures of her eye below--If anybody can advise on how to treat her and what things we should purchase (if needed) I would highly appreciate it!!
Any and all responses are appreciated, thank you!
