New chicken eye concen

[Cpgrnwd]

Just got this girl a few days ago

Noticed her eyes this morning

I wiped her eyes and put her in a crate w egg yolk

She has been in the coop with everyone for days

She seems stressed away from the flock but im worried about possible contagion

Anyone know what this is and what i should do

They may have pecked at her eyes, but she may have eye irritation from ammonia fumes from droppings, dust, or some other irritant. I would use some saline or Bausch and Lomb Eye Relief Eye Wash, and irrigate her eyes. Look for any inflammation, gunk, or bubbles in the eyes before you flush them. Terramycin eye ointment or Plain Neosporin can be applied in a small dab in each eye twice a day. Let us know how she gets along.

Thank you!

I just wiped her again nothing draining but i am super concerned.

She is definitely not feeling well laying around tucking her face into her wing at times

I put her back in the little run w her 2 companions she came in with but that is within my regular run.

I think she got picked on!

Last night i watched the run camera and realized that my March chicks were waiting for the big girls to go to bed and pushing into the internal pin.

I booted them and made sure the babies would sleep undistirbed, she looks much better this morning.

Huge relief!

I would use the eye ointment which may make her feel better.

She was looking better I thought!

Now she’s looking distressed and sounds raspy
