Hen won’t eat...

[emmagat]

Hi everyone! I recently just bought 2 lavender cuckoo orpingtons from a show about 2 months ago. Turned out they had coccidiosis, but I brought them to the vet and they were treated with antibiotics. Anyway, the rooster has a healthy appetite and loves grain and corn. The hen, however, does not seem interested in food. They are about 4 or 5 months old, and they seem like they have vision problems, too. By that, I mean that they seem to have problems perceiving depth. The hen also has problems standing up and balancing, which I’m assuming is because she isn’t eating. They are also kind of pale. I recently discovered that they also have mites, which I bought a powder for to dust them with. They both seem very alert and cognitive so I am not sure what’s wrong. Anyway, any help would be hugely appreciated, so thank you in advance!!!!

Can you post some clear close up pictures of their eyes?

Yeah sure. I’m not sure if you’re thinking of Marek’s with their eyes, but the vet tested for it and the test came back negative. But here’s some pics.

If you shine a light on the eye, does the pupil get smaller?

Yeah, I just tried it and both of their pupils seem to get smaller.
