My lavender marans hen (fairly new breed) has this weird excess mucus in one eye that looks kind of like the third eyelid, she blinks it away a bunch. She has no respiratory issues or vision issues, at least as far as I know. I’m wondering if this might be a potential problem.

She may have a bit of debris in the eye or possibly the nictitating eyelid is damaged somehow.

If she were mine, I'd gently flush the eye with saline and apply an eye ointment like Terramycin in the eye. Do this at least once daily for a few days, see if that helps.

Thank you, I’ll try this!
