Hello. I am currently looking for some home treatment suggestions.
My welsummer rooster, 4 months in age, has red, itchy, cloudy eyes. It started in one eye and now both eyes seem to be red and itchy. We have tried terramycin ointment 2 times daily for 7 days and it did not seem to cure it. We have also tried flushing the eyes with an eyedrop solution. He has been like this for a few weeks. I am trying to cure him myself before we take him to a vet.
The rooster is eating well, he eats the chick starter food from purina and gets occasional fruit and vegetable. He also has access to clean water. His poop does seem runnier than the other chickens.
Currently he lives in a chicken coop with three other chickens. They get daily use of my grass yard and return to the enclosed run and coop at night. The other chickens do not have any issues.
Here are some pictures of him. His name is Lyle.
