Thank you for the welcome. I already have a question. One of our hens about four or five months has what looks to be an infection in her right eye. It is closed and swollen. I have washed the eye with an ophthalmic boric acid wash. Then I applied triple antibiotic to the closed eye for the past two days. Here in Africa I have been counseled to give the hen amoxicillin. I am cautious with such conventional wisdom. Any suggestions? Je vous remerci en advance.

You are welcome but, I am sorry I don't know what you should use. But when using boric acid as a wash please don't let it run down into her mouth.

@casportpony what are your thoughts for eye infection?
