Mishapen eye, birth defect or desease?

[Bantam life]

My little bantam frizzle has a mishapened eye. It looks almost like a goats eye! I have read up on meraeks disease but I still don't know if it is. One of my Easter eggers had two paralized legs but she is fully recovered now. I don't think any of our chickens have been vaccinated. Is there a possibility that this is not meraeks and something that we can treat?

Could you post some pictures?

Are you describing the shape of the pupil? Is their any color change in the iris? Can you post any pictures.

I do not have a pictures right now but there seems to be no discoloration. One of Her pupils are similar to a goats or horse. It is a horizontal oval.

Usually with Mareks the pupil may appear tiny or pinpoint, and sometimes the outline is fuzzy or misshapen. The iris may lose color.

This is what her eye looks like.

She not losing her feathers she just being pecked at. Might her eye and being pecked at have something to do with each other?

It does not look like images of a typical Marek's eye, while the pupil edge does seem a bit less defined, I don't see the color changes in the iris that are usually associated with Marek's. Can she see out of that eye? Does the pupil react to light?
This link has a picture of any eye that looks very similar to your birds (scroll down) and there is note of a vet visit in which the vet did not feel it was Marek's.

If it has not always been that way, then an injury is certainly possible.
There are also abnormalities called coloboma's, some of which don't exactly look like your birds, but thought I'd mention those as well. I have seen some that are more similar. They happen in humans too, and you can google for a lot of images.
