Yesterday, I let my year 10 month old rhode island red out of the coop to free range. After an hour I checked up on her and noticed that the rooster had jumped the coop (he hasnt been introduced to her or my other new barred rocks), so im assuming he tried to mate and she didnt want to and he pecked her in the eye accidentally. Her eye is completely closed shut and when i try to open it, it has a white/grayish glaze over it. I really cant even see the white of her eye or anything. Could it be infected? What can i do to help her? She eats when given food but hardly has the motivation to roam around. I have been lightly patting her eye with salt water and given her small doses of children's advil as well as applying triple antibiotic ointment around the eye. Repeating that a few times a day has allowed her to open her eye occasionally but she mostly keeps it closed. A mucus like gunk came out the last time it was cleaned. Is there anything else i can do for her eye? Or could she be blind?
