~8 week silkie hen
Her eye is cloudy in the inner corner. She has been keeping it closed or squinting. She has been itching at it, shaking her head, running it across the grass/surface.

But no other illness concerns.
Tho she has been shying away from the other playful hens (and so I wonder if it’s a pecking injury?).

thank you !

Please, can anyone offer help? She is showing blind-like behaviors(?).
She takes a really long time getting out of the coop in the morning, which is only 2 inches off the ground. She stands at the edge looking very timid/afraid to jump down for quite a while. She does the same getting in.
She walks around chirping unlike the others. And appears very unaware of what is in front of her, walking very very slowly and is quick to frighten with noises or the other chicks flapping around her, yet shes walked right up to and around me as if she can’t see me if I remain still (or anything). Can anyone offer thoughts or questions for me to consider?
She doesn’t appear otherwise sick but hunkers down in place and is not as mobile/active as the others.
Thank you:)
