She misses EVERYTHING. Waxworm, single particle of grain, seed, moth. No matter how interested she is in getting it into her mouth, she pecks just a tiny fraction of an inch away from the item. She stares at it and then dives for it over and over, but never gets it into her mouth. She eats just fine from her big bowl of layer feed, but a single tiny item given to her on the ground is safe and sound despite all her eager attempts to grab it. She's about five and half months old. Her eyes look perfectly fine to me. She walks, climbs the chicken ramps, dustbathes, drinks, eats, poops and everything without any difficulty. It's just this one weird thing. Just doesn't seem to know how to aim her beak. Anyone else ever have a chicken like that?
 
I have a bird that is blind in one eye and does that. As long as she eats her feed and drinks her water ok I don't worry.
