HELP!! My chicken all of the sudden had something weird happen with her eye, no sign of injury. But obviously something happen. She was fine 2 hours ago! has anyone seen this before??

Try flushing the eye with saline solution and then gently pat dry. Then apply terramycin eye ointment. You can use neosporin in a pinch.

That's exactly what I did. Hopefully it helps. Should I try it again tomorrow?

Yes, continue for several more days, twice a day. Is that mucus in her eye?

Sorry I thought I replied to this. I'm not sure. It almost seems to be jelly part of her eye. Like it raptured or something. It's getting better. She still holds it just a little bit closed and the "gel" went back in, but it's much darker than her other eye now. And just a bit cloudy.
