My chicken has a feather in her eye....

[Simi019]

My Salmon Faverolles has gotten a feather wedged under her eyelid, towards the back of the eye. She keeps the eye shut, but it doesn’t seem like it’s causing her pain... we just weren’t sure if it was a good idea to try to restrain her, and get the feather out ourselves...or we should take her to the animal ER and pay them to do it.
Any suggestions? Any good ideas?

Can you see the feather sticking out?

We can only see the feather when we open her eye, but it’s wedged down in the outer corner. None of it is poking outside of the eye.

My first instinct would be to try to flush it out, but I know almost nothing about chicken eyes. Hopefully someone who has more medical experience will come on and help. It's possible that her eye may work it out by morning, like our own eyes do when there is something in one.

Do you have pics? It would help if you can flush/pull it out.
