I wasn’t sure how to post a picture but the link below goes to a picture of the hens eye. I’ve never seen an eye look like this and her other eye looks completely normal. She is definitely blind or partially blind in the affected eye. I’m not sure if it’s an injury or if she is sick and could spread it to the other chickens.

I know it’s not the best picture but I couldn’t catch her and had to take the picture from further away - was also able to find the picture attachment 😅🤦🏼‍♀️

Yes, that could be ocular Mareks. How does the other eye look? Sometimes chickens can have only the eye form of Mareks. Here is a link that shows what ocular Mareks may look like:

The other eye looks completely normal and she can see out of it fine. I’m not sure how long ago her other eye changed, they’re my parents chickens and I only saw her eye today by chance.
