Ocular Marek's

I would take some clear pictures in good light of the 2 eyes, and email or text the pictures to someone at their lab if possible.

It's really hard to get good pictures she tends to close the eye as soon as I can get a good focus I find. But yes I'll give that a try

I am certainly no expert on ocular Mareks, but I would try to get an opinion. Some people have only the ocular form of Mareks in their flock, while some have multiple types. The better the light for the photos, the better the chances of identifying. And just wait for the right opportunity.

Another picture and both eyes look like that the edges of the pupil aren't as rough as the first picture made it look

Hopefully, it is just cataracts, but at such a young age, I wonder about it being the ocular form of Mareks. That doesn’t mean that you have to cull her to find out. But if you do lose her, I would definitely get a necropsy. You can find a few labs around the country who will send you materials to obtain blood from her toenail to test for Mareks.

Do you have any updates?

I culled as I decided better to be safe than sorry and I didn't have a way to house a blind chicken anyways

Sorry for your loss.
