This weekend, I'm taking in/adopting this little Buff Orpington hen. Current owner says she's been picked on by her rooster/flock and has an eye injury; thinks the eye was scratched and it (the eye) moves a little slow.

I haven't *knock on wood* had to deal with any injuries in my current flock before, so I don't have a lot of first aid/treatments on hand. What should I get from the store to prepare for this girl? (you can see the injured eye in the photo).

I don’t have much experience with eye injuries but your plan seems solid to me. I would also suggest to keep her separate from your flock for a sort of quarantine period (which you may be planning anyway) - seems most likely to be an injury as you’ve been told but good plan to quarantine newbies anyway and will also keep her safe whilst you fix her up. She’s cute!
