For the past several months my EE hasn't come down from the top roost unless I open the coop door and she jumps all the way out. It's a 7 foot jump. Thankfully she doesn't get injured.
I just noticed she's blind in one eye. I have no clue how it happened. Maybe age? She's 9 years old. She still eats and drinks just fine.
Getting up to the top roost is no problem, it's getting down that she has trouble with. She prefers to jump down to the coop floor rather than the roost she used to get up. I added another roost bar yesterday thinking that'd help but she didn't. Maybe she needs some time but I'm unsure what to do. Do I paint them with a bright paint?
Once she's out, she forages as normal.
