I got a pic of my hona cock with the injured eye. It was swollen and I thought it was respiratory, but now it looks like a tear. I can see the "guts" of his eye. He was mid blink in the pic... It's hard to hold a grown rooster with one hand and shove a camera in his face to take a pic. :/

I have the plain triple antibiotic ointment (without pain relief) in my chicken first aid kit.
He doesn't seem affected by it, still gets around fine and it still in the flock. I hadn't planned to keep him, but I don't know how well he'll sell now. :/ I also don't totally know how it happened, if it was a fight or something unsafe in the coop.

Is that what I need for my intended purpose? I have a feeling I might just have to get it and try.
I'm far from being an expert woodworker, but my thought is that a block plane, which is designed to shave fairly flat surfaces, should not be the "weapon of choice" for tree limbs, assuming you want to retain the irregular contours of the limbs. Not really sure what you should be using instead; maybe a spoke shave or draw knife?
This is so hard for me to explain in my girl words. Ok. I've got a big stack of firewood from where we cleared some brush. I want to make an end table a little like this:
BUT I only want to shave a bit off the top, so there are more stable contact points for a glass top that I'll frame in. I don't want to square the logs in any sort of way. Just shave them a bit (some more than others) so it's flat enough to set glass on top. I think it would be prettier than just setting glass on top.
From what I've read I think I need a plane for the flat edge instead of the curved blade of the spokeshave.
If the top & bottom are all you're worried about being flat, why not just saw them off? Not sure how a plane would do going crossways of the grain
I was thinking in terms of legs, not a flat top for the glass
A belt sander or pad sander probably would be your best bet.
