Sleepy chicken

[FarmalI]

I have a Cinnamon Queen, or a Gold Star chicken that in the last few months has gone blind in one eye. Her eye looks fine, but the color just started getting dull, anyone know why she has gone blind in one eye?
Then, now she seems to just be standing then she will close her eyes and sit down like shes tired. Any ideas on why she acts sleepy?

Thanks.

I have had a tendency to panic when I see my chickens are sleeping during the day. But I have come to realize that some nights they sleep better than others. But I would also keep an eye for anything else that could be off. Like change in comb or wattle color, sneezing a lot, not being able to stand or walk. But if she seems fine other than sleeping it's probably just a rough night. Now if it last more than one day then it's something to be concern about.

ya, she does it about all the time now.

Could you post a picture close up of her eye? Her eye could have gone blind from many different causes such as infection or injury, but Mareks disease can cause the iris to turn gray and the pupil to become pinpoint or odd shaped. How old is the chicken? Does she lay eggs? Is there any diarrhea or blood in her poops?

Ill post a picture when I can,, She is only a little over a year old,, she may lay 3 or 4 eggs a week. I got her from a friend last year because they thought she was retarded, and she was so much bigger than all the other chicks, but they were all the same age.
