One eye closed orpington buff

[Clamart]

Hi!

I just have chickens since 10 days now! They are already 2 months old.
One of them (they are 2) already arrived at home with one closed eye, but I did not give a lot of attention because I thought maybe she would have hurted it somehow during the trip. Today I saw the eye was opened, but looks so ugly! And she is sneezing too!
She does not look sad and I believe she is eating well, but she is always behind the other chicken, very scared and dependent.

I know that it maybe is a recurrent problem between chickens, I have read so many different possibilities about what can be this one eye closed that I am lost!! I am so afraid of losing my chicken! They are so cute, New family members really! :/

Thank you very much for your help!

my Buff Orpington hen had the same problem once!she stayed clear of the other chickens,and people,her eye looked bruised and she could barely open it!She healed within days,opening her eyes a little more each day!My belief is that your chicken got pecked in the eye by one of the chickens,and that's why she's avoiding them,the fact that she is opening that eye is a good sign!her eye has got to be irritated but it should heal well providing she's not blind!

I hope nothing worse happen with mine as well. She is still with this closed eye but she looks fine!
