I have a 4mo old Pullet. Almost 2 months ago she and a second Pullet presented with watery, goopy eyes. My first thought was something respiratory. Fast forward Hen A recovered within about a week. She showed no other symptoms other than her eyes. Hen B ended up with a massive growth in one eye which looked like a tumor. It finally got to a point I was able to remove it. It was a ball of hard waxy puss and inside was a very small piece of grass. So based on this I am pretty sure that both pullets got grass clipping in their face the day I mowed. This also jives with how quickly it came on the exact same day and no other symptoms.
Hen A recovered quickly from her eye issue but since has had a honking sneeze. I am 90% sure she has a grass clipping lodged somewhere in her airway or nasal tract. She’s eating, not lethargic, no wheezy or raspy breathing, eating well. But she shakes her head and honks/sneezes throughout the day and night for weeks now.
Anyone have any suggestions on how I can help her clear this? My husband thinks the humane thing is to cull her. But she is perfectly healthy otherwise and a sweet little hen.
