I bought 4 hens and a rooster 2 wks ago. I go out this morning and my white hen has one eye sealed shut and the other looks like yellow gunk. They are about 2 months old. I am so hoping it can be cured with antibiotics. I noticed the other chickens are leaving her by herself. What should I do.

Welcome! I'm sorry to hear about your sick chicken. Try posting in the emergency/treatment section. You'll probably get more replies. I hope she's ok!

Sorry to hear about the sick Chickie-Bird. I am by no means a DR, but I think it is treatable. Usually a respiratory issue. Thanks to this site, I have found cures/remedies/treatments for all of the issues with my flock. Here is where I would start.

Sorry to hear that. I will look for another link that was very helpful to me. I don't know her username, but her first name was Kathy. She had a list as to what order to treat different illnesses. Kinda like triage for a chicken. Again, sorry for your hen.
