Hi,
I’ve got a hen (a Cotswold Legbar about 1.5 yo) that appears to have poor eyesight. She seems to struggle to see grain or food generally, knows its there but then moves in to peck it and then hesitates. She's not eating very well.
I'm going to have a good look at her eyes in detail tomorrow but there doesn’t seem to be anything obvious (swollen, discharge etc.)
Going to try some sweet potato tomorrow for a Vit A boost. Glasses would look cute but as she has no ears they would fly off at the first peck
Has anyone had a similar situation?
