Cloudy eye in Chicken

[Birdsrmylyf]

On one particularly day, I had a perfectly normal chicken begin to show signs of blindness in one eye (would only look through one eye and would keep the 'blind eye closed'). in a matter of 3 days she had a cloud over her pupil and I'm unsure as to what it is. It looks like a cloud on the outside of the eye (when you look sideways, the cloud does not enter the eye). She became a little lathargic at the same time. she no longer closes the eye, she just doesn't


use it. I have also attached a photo. Please help me identify the issue.

According to this article: POULTRY DISEASE DIAGNOSIS BASED ON SYMPTOMS(Mississippi State University)
arizona paracolon, paratyphoid,aspergillosis or fowl pox can cause blindness.
Maybe you can do some google and find out.

Does the pupil react to light at all? It could also be Ocular Mareks.

One of my girls has an eye that looks exactly like that! Did you ever find out what it was? She is acting normal, and her eye was fine yesterday. Thanks!

Welcome to BYC. The eye could have a cataract--here is a similar thread--notice the change over several days in the pictures: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/842381/milky-line-in-eye-cataract-or-something-else-photos
