It has to be a chicken breed. For example, jwehl entered Buttercup, the wild tree chicken.

Okay.

AAAP is the American Association of Avian Pathologists, a very reputable resource.

Yes, I know what a cataract looks like when fully formed.

You can, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't have it. There's no way he can have it.

I won't bug you more about it, but to me, it looks a lot like ocular Marek's. And you say there is no way he can have it, well I hate to tell you this, but one cannot ever be 100% sure that their flock is Marek's free.

The bird shown in your avatar does not appear to have a cataract.

Non of my other birds have the disease listed. Non have the discoloration in the pupil.

He is the only one, who has a cataract due to excessive sunlight since he's a Split Sex-linked albino. Albinos have light sensitivities.

The beginning of a cataract looks different then a full cataract.

The majority of my birds come from hatcheries.

Is there an At Home Merek's Disease test I can do to confirm he doesn't have it? Cuz I'm 100% sure he doesn't.

I'm not trying to argue, I know my birds sources.

Turns out my uncle was okay but he was very near the tornado, and he was terrified since he didn’t have a shelter to go to (because he was in an RV)

Seriously @OneHappyRooster how do you change the font

 

[MysteryChicken]

I've seen those already.

Did you see my post about him being a Split Sex-linked Albino?

Also I did look into it while searching cataracts in chickens, white birds are more prone to get them. Some other causes is high amounts of ammonia in the coop.
