I have a 6 year old Americana hen who I just recently notice she had a cataract in her left eye. Sadly my favorite hen. We live in Salt Lake City and we are dealing with cold temperatures, in the 20s. she seem a bit disoriented and she is loosing weight. Not sure what to do for her. She isn't perching but sitting in a corner of the coop at night. I am concerned for her. Today, she acted as though she could see at all. I have a heating element that screws in to a light socket. It doesn't give them a lot of heat. I have 4 hens. they are getting old and aren't laying eggs for several months. And great advice for my cataract hen? Breaks my hart for her. I want her to be comfortable but with this weather as cold as it is, I want to do what's best for her. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
