I found one of my hens today has one of her eyes closed and there were two tiny white bugs on the lid crawling around. I checked the rest of her body and my other chickens and didn't see any more of the bugs. Is this an eye injury or bug related and what should I do for her? Thank you!
1) she's a year old Easter egger, weight is the same as always.
2) other than her vision being affected in the one eye she's acting normal
3) started today
4) no other birds with issues
5) the eye is the only issue that I found
6) no idea what happened
7) she's been eating and drinking
8) poop looks normal
9) I haven't treated it yet
10 ) I'll be treating at home

12) wooden coop, sand bedding, run is wood and wire with pine wood chip bedding and dirt
