We removed one of our hens from the flock a few months ago of what appeared to be an eye injury. My husband flushed out the hens eye with saline solution several times a day before putting Neospoern into the eye using a q-tip. The treatment started off as twice a day and then became once a day when the hen's infection was healing. After about a week the infection was gone but we thought the eyeball was gone and she was blind. She was able to open her eye but it was white. After about a month an eyeball began appearing but looked grayish. But as time went on the eyeball was looking better as it appeared she can see a little bit from it. Now the eyeball looks normal and she uses the eye more often. It took a while for the infection to clear up, but it appears it's completely healed after a few months of wondering what happened to her eye. Now she roams around the house and does what she wants. We use to call her One-Eye, but need to change her name to Miss Bossy. Lol. She's always running up to us and pecking at us, even at the dogs. She feels very comfortable now, so there is hope for the eye. I don't know if your hen's eye problem is the same as ours, but it appeared our hen got her eye pecked from another hen or she ran into something. We had hoped we can fix her eye, and after a few months of healing her eye has gotten better.
