I have 4 RIR hens and one of them isn't laying eggs anymore, but I can't tell which one. Noticed only 3 eggs three days ago and have been this way since. Today, I did a thorough exam on all of them, they have full crops, (Normal, not crop-bound), they don't feel fat or too thin, they are all bright, active, and responsive. Feathers and combs look good, eyes look bright...except for one chicken.
"Maha" has one eye (RIGHT) that is cloudy, almost looks like a cataract, and it seems a bit more swollen than the other side, but no discharge, no crusting...just a little bit puffy.
Anyone know what this could be? Or any ideas on how to treat?? I know it's hard to "Diagnose" over the internet! But anyone have anything like this happen before? Anything I need to watch for?
I don't know much about birds other than they can go downhill very quickly! I'm just hoping that I am doing ok by catching something early...
Please help!

Bad eye
Good eye
