Chicken half cloudy eye

[Onionfatty]

my chicken has a half cloudy eye, i ordered some ointment for its eye already but im not sure its an infection. theres a white spot on it aswell i was able to get a decent picture but she barely wants to open it and it seems like she cant see well out of it either tho she does try. this is only day 2, she is also isolated right now just in case, what do you guys think is wrong?

Can you get a good picture of the pupil straight on? Trying to see if the pupil is misshapen at all. Also want to see this white spot you referenced. Did this happen suddenly? Could she have been pecked by another chicken? How is she acting otherwise, does she seem sick or lame or anything like that? Eating, drinking, interacting w the other chickens? When did she last lay an egg?

Blind. I had a chook like that once, she was half blind

i did post some photos but they are kind of blurry its very early rn gonna wait before messing with her so i can try to get a straight on photo of the spot and eye,she is very young not sure exactly but id say about a maybe a month or so still fits in my hand. she is currently in her own bin away from the other chicks isolated(13 babies including her) she is basically living her best life eating drinking she roosts on the side of the bin i havent really notice any lethargy but, she was kind of on her own when it first appeared<this is what made me notice the eye was shut, when i first noticed it in the morning 2 days ago there was some crust that i wiped away with a warm damp cloth but it doesnt seem like it has returned fingers crossed, there is no sneezing from what ive seen so far. Yeah this kind of just happened out of nowhere she was fine until 2 days ago, its possible she may have gotten pecked there are also 12 layers that come around their enclosure, maybe one got them through the fence? im not sure ill work on getting some better pictures in a couple hours

thats terrible, im hoping she isnt but what can i do if this turns out to be the case? it really doesnt seem like she can see out of it right now and she keeps it closed alot

UPDATE:she isnt cooperating and i dont have a second person to help at the moment. but the eye is less cloudy however the white dot seems to kind of float around in the eye, it isnt in the same spot it was before

Sounds painful. Can you make sime sterile saline solution and rey try to flush the eye and then try to put some antiibiotic ointment in it. Terramycin is best but if you have some Original Triple antibiotic like Neosporin or its generic equivalent. Be sure it does NOT have pain reliever in it.

Sorry typos. TRY to flush the eye.

She may learn to compensate using other eye.
