Eye injury please help!

[Reginald Cluckington III]

My beautiful lavender orpington pullet Artemis made a poor decision by deciding to roost on the queen hen Hazel's roosting bar. I watched as Hazel drilled her solidly in the eye right in front of me. What I am assuming was her cornea ( clear domeish looking thing covering her eye) came detached. I don't know what to do next, I flushed the eye with saline and put a bandage over it but it's obvious she will be blind out of it. I don't know if I need to remove the rest of the eye or if something like that might regenerate. Any help would be very appreciated thank you!

Welcome To BYC

When you can, get some clear well-lit photos of her eye.

You did good by cleaning with saline. I'd put an ointment like Terramycin eye ointment in the eye or if you can't find that you can use Original Neosporin.

Usually it's best to leave the eye or wound uncovered. So when you clean the eye again, leave the bandage off. Place her near the flock so she can still be with or near them, but be protected while she heals.
