My chicken has hyperopia

[BonDEEroo]

I got 3 Australian Langshan pullets a couple of months ago. They are great little birds - calm, friendly and lay about 5 eggs each per week, even now in late winter. One seems to have problems seeing things close up. She always pecks a few millimetres short of treats offered to her. She's worked out to go for the feed bowls, not scattered feed. Reading the threads here, it seems there's not much to be done for her, but if anyone has any thoughts I'd be interested to hear!

just make sure there is food in the bowl for her, and that it is a complete feed since she won't be able to supplement it by foraging herself.

Yes I think that's the best i can do for her, she seems pretty healthy and active

Also make sure she can hold her own within the flock. If you notice she is getting bullied and forced away from feed, she may need to separated from her flock-mates.
