Our Lav Orp pullet has had a rough month. When we got her she developed severe coccidiosis. We have treated and that seems to have resolved. At the same time she had an eye that was very red, mostly closed, and weeping. That eye is now open but both eyes are red and seem to be irritated. She often scratches at them. We treated with Tylan 50 for possible respiratory, but that doesn't seem to have developed and the eyes now remain the only symptom. Red and itchy or painful. She eats and drinks well and is so sweet and friendly, although lonely I think. She is living in a dog crate with pine shavings in our laundry room. We don't use any scented laundry detergent or anything that could be irritating.
Should I get some Terramycin? Do chickens get pink eye, like kids? I will try to post a picture but we don't have a smartphone so I have to wait until my husband gets home with his ipad.
