My chicken is one year's old I got her when she was probably 4 months old. every since I've had her she has had this weird growth. It is not growing off of her eyelid it is growing from underneath the actual eyeball and it is pushing its way out forcing the lower eyelid down because it's underneath the eye. I have attempted to flush the eye I have used different cleaning solutions and 1st aid solutions from the local feed store I have watched so many YouTube videos I've asked many questions to everyone I know I cannot seem to find out what this is. This is my description on what it is when I hold her and hold her head still and lower the eyelid There is what looks to be another eyeball growing from a underneath her regular eyeball the reason I say this is because when she turns her eye the dark pupil spot on the mass moves also in same direction. When I first got her she was about guessing couple months old not laying yet. She had it then was bulging as much but still flared the eyelid enough that you could tell something was growing there or was a mass of some kind. Now I've had her about a solid year. She Lay's extremely dark brown black speckled eggs regularly , there's no discharge of any kind , no infection present. Eye is not watery or snotty. No infection present coming from either nostrils or other eye. Today i wrapped her up in a towel. Held her head nice and firm. I cleaned her eye out real good. Sterilized area an eye. I took one of my small diabetes syringe needless "very small" an attempted to either drain it or at least puncture it an have light squeeze, very small amount of blood came out, nothing else it didn't change in size no other fluid or puss, infection nothing. I'm at a loss. It's starting to get big enough to we're the eye lid on bottom stays stretched open. But again it's taken a year to get this size so it's not growing very rapidly. She still has full function of eye and can see. I find it weird when I looked at the thing this morning how it moved with the eye what ever direction the eye moves the dark circular pupil looking spot moves to. It's like shape and size of another eyeball. I d k. Just don't want her in pain or suffering. She's a good chicken my kids picked her out anyone got any ideas. Don't know how often anyone checks these post but my real phone number is 941----‐--- 465 --------3154. It's a Florida area code I live in west cost central Florida. Anyone please I'll send video soon as you ask for it. I've got to go catch her first

If you can, post a picture. From your description, it sounds as if she has a good quality of life. Hopefully it will continue this way.
