Contact your state veterinary diagnostic lab, ask to speak with the head avian pathologist and see if you can email the picture of the eye to them.

Thank you for this suggestion. I decided to email (because I am not much of a good phone talker). See pic for response and new pics I took of Sansa. I’m thinking about testing only though, so I will put out a new thread to ask if others have a recommendation on the least expensive way to test them.

Can u give her back to the friend u adopted her from? (& hope your other chickens havent been exposed yet). For liability reasons, a veterinarian cant diagnose a condition without doing a physical exam. But the written response u got, plus the expert feedback u got on this forum, are pointing to an answer no one wants to hear.

Her parents are selling the farm and all of the chickens were sold. I planned to purchase these but she said I was such a good chicken-friend that she gave them to me.
