I just got pecked in the eye!!

[TheChickieWhisperer]

What do I do???

How badly does it hurt?

 

[TheChickieWhisperer]

It doesn't hurt there is only irritation.

It doesn't hurt there is only irritation.

I'm sure it's fine, but I know a guy who lost an eye to a chicken peck. If you've got any eye leakage other than watery eye caused by simple irritation, call an ophthalmologist or consider going to an ER to be safe.

Is your eye damaged? See a doctor.
Considering bacterial contamination from chickens pecking in the same soil they poop in I’d see a doctor even without any damage.

It doesn't hurt but there is slight redness under the iris

Why on earth was the chicken's beak anywhere close to your eye?

 

[TheChickieWhisperer]

He hopped onto my shoulder.

If it doesn't hurt, there's not swelling and there's no puss or other liquid coming out of your eye it's probably just irritated, however since the chickens beek came into contact with your eye you should flush your eye out under running water for a few minutes. if it starts to swell, you can't open your eye, your vision worsens, or liquid is coming out of your eye that is not clear contact your doctor and consider going to emerg

Please don't let your chickens ride on your shoulder unless you are wearing glasses, or even better, safety glasses. Eyes look a lot like grapes to a chicken, and chickens love grapes.
