Hi guys. It is a Sulmtaler cockerel. About a year old. A couple of days ago his eye was closed, maybe he'd been stung near it and was having trouble opening it. Or could it have been a peck from another hen?
The good news is the next day he was opening it, looking with bot eyes the next day. But he still isn't 100%. Before he'd been running with the flock, crowing, if I'd throw bread he'd call the hens in to feed them. He was in his element. Although his eyes are back to normal now he has been off on his own for the past couple of days.
Anyone experienced anything like this? Any idea how long recovery could take? Most importantly, i there anything I could do to help him recover?
