Show Question

[kbird93]

We have a show coming up in October and my beautiful Barred Plymouth Rock pullet. Her one eye lid all of a sudden is droopy. I don’t have a photo but can post later. There is no damage to the eye ball itself just the lid. No pain.

My question is would you show her? Should we show her? Will there be a huge deduction taken off if we do?

We are new to the poultry show world. If you have any tips to share please provide!

I would post an image. If it is something disease related, then she could be disqualed.

Photo has been added. It’s only been like this for a week.

Hmm, does her eye react to light (dilate) or movement?

She still blinks, dilates, reacts to lights and movements but the lid just hangs like this. It only started about a week ago.

Until you're certain what it is, please don't show her. It could be contagious and you run the risk of infecting birds around you.

Vet gave her a clear bill of health. YAY!
