I got the terramycin! It just arrived

A couple of my chickens did that. Vet in my area couldn't tell what it was, but I checked my waters, which were galvanized metal and the metal was chipping off into their water. I changed to those plastic ones and haven't had that problem again yet. But some of my chickens acted sleepy in the day time too.

Thank you so much! I did not get anything out of his either and it seems to be going down. I have been doing hot compresses on his eye twice a day and I clipped the feathers back that could have been bothering it.

I'm so happy for you and your chicken! I learn something every day!

He is pretty active for having a swollen eye but I will definitely keep that in mind with their water because we will be putting up some water at the coop soon. Right now they get their water from the sink and a bucket
