Manson Eye Worms HELP

[Wyorp Rock]

@dawg53 I have seen white little pieces in their eyes like egg larva and I removed it but if it's a respiratory disease there is no antibiotic medicine over the counter to give them

@dawg53 yes my girls are scratching and watery eyes plus wipe their eyes on their feathers so I have some eye worm medicine on the way but I do have eye antibiotic

Can you post some photos of the hens and their eyes?
You have seen little white pieces in the eyes - are those still in there? Can you wipe some of those out and get a photos of that too?

Not trying to be rude, but did you by chance watch the video that @dawg53 posted? With eye worms, you can see them moving. I've watched it many times over the years, still a bit creepy, but interesting to me nonetheless. LOL

You don't happen to have some pics of this?

Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.
Please add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, (laptop version shown), then it's always there!

You squeezed white liquid out of the eye?
To me they look to have an eye infection. As to the cause, it's hard to know.
Have you added any birds within the last 30 days?

Any liquid or semi-hard cheesy material in the eyes will need to be pressed out. Flush the eyes well with saline, press out any gunk, then apply an eye ointment.

Yes just white liquid and yes I just got some new hens but no signs of Infection I had them quarantined for awhile before putting them with my old hens but I will put some eye ointment in their eyes

Do you have other "old hens" or just the 2 that are symptomatic?

I believe your birds have a respiratory disease, either MG, possibly coryza. Is there a foul odor around their heads?

 

[Heavenly Love Hatchery]

No smell nothing but I don't get how they would have gotten this because everyone was separated for a month and my new hens are fine and yes these are the only ones
