I am sorry about the predators! and the loss of the Marans.
I hope the rooster recovers.
One of my delaware chicks was very similar to this. She is effectively blind in that eye. She came to me that way. It initially looked like her eye was just mostly closed most of the time. She seems to get along just fine. She walks very carefully and doenst jump much or fly. She moves her head a lot to compensate. I would suspect some genetic defect in development but otherwise she is just fine the blindness actually makes her more tolerant to being held and "helped" and a lot easier to catch. I find she will position the blind side towards walls and things so her good eye can focus on the important stuff. Smart chicken really she has learned to compensate. I do find that she tends to mis-peck occasionally when offered treats she will miss the target.(Usually when excited and competing with the others from a position where she doesnt have her best field of vision.) This one doesnt look as advance as severe as mine.Need some advice here; on of my bantam cochins eyes is ...weird.
This is the normal one, bad lighting but the yellow iris is bright and the pupil clear.
This one seems dark. It's not really cloudy, more like the "clear" part of the eye is tinted darker, like sunglasses. It's a little bigger than the other and he seems to keep it closed some of the time. It's not weepy, or pussy and doesn't seem to bother him. I also can't find any sign of damage or blood.
Would this be some kind of genetic thing, or something contagious? Any ideas on what it could be or how to help?
