Cloudy bluish tinged eye, closing it, what is going on?

Does she blink or react if you move your finger close to that eye? Not touching it, but a healthy eye will blink if an object moves towards it.

Yes

I'd wait and see what others think.

Even if she's not able to see well or has lost the eye, she should be able to adapt.

I'd definitely clean the eye and put a dab of ointment in it since she's keeping it closed which would indicate it doesn't feel too good to her.

Unfortunately, chickens can be mean to one another. They look so sweet, but sometimes they just are not that nice.

Okay. I have neosporin

With the looks of the eye, she is totally blind I believe. She should be able to get around alright in her familiar area where food and water are in the same location. I had a Polish hen who did well for 2 years with sight in one eye. She suffered a peck in the eye because she bumped into other chickens often. The neosporin or some Terramycin ointment if you can get it without a prescription would be good for a bit.

Mahalo for this. I appreciate your insight. She seems to be adapting well. It’s been a learning curve for sure. I’ve reintroduced her (somewhat) to the group. She is safely separated from the meaner hens by a gate but they can all see/smell/hear one another. She now has her own little nursery coop with her eggs safely inside.
