I have a wyandotte with a lot of "white" in the corner of his eye (ended up being a rooster:() I just got a blue ameracuna hen that looks similar. The wyandotte was from a hatchery and the ameracauna is from a farm down the road. They just look different from all my other chickens eyes, so I wanted to check with all of you. They are healthy, no other problems, their eyes just look odd.

I've noticed it, too.
As long as there is no puss or discharge, it can probably be treated with some electrolytes or vitamins. I think... but I'm not sure... that this is a general sign of stress or minor illness.
Sometimes chickens just do it for no reason, depending on which way they look.
Do you know all the check points for illness?
