I noticed a few days ago that my 6-month-old barred rock, Jessie, was bumping into things and seemed like she couldn't see. I picked her up and noticed her pupils look cloudy. My husband agrees--she isn't aware of her surroundings.

Is she blind and I never knew? She's healthy in every other aspect--eating, drinking, laying regularly.

How would I get her diagnosed?

Thank you!
 
If she is healthy, don't worry about it. You have a blind chicken now. Just keep an eye on her eyes, checking for any fuzz or other signs of pests or mold.
 
Can you take her to a vet?
Any photos of the eye or a video of her actions?
Is she off balance, how does she find her food, water and the nesting box to lay her egg?
