Something wrong?

[Chicken George]

I just went out to check on my chickens and one escaped. I caught the little guy and saw blue in its eyes I haven't noticed this in any other one of my birds. Is it sick?

 

[Chicken George]

Anybody?

Can you get a picture of it and post it here? Without more to go on, I wouldn't know what to tell you.

Ok it might take awhile

Sorry about the horrrible picture

I can't tell anything from that picture, sorry. Are there any other symptoms of anything? What does the "blue" look like? Is it a fleck? Is it all blue? Does it look hazy, or like something is in they eye? Sorry for all of the questions, but I'm stumped!

It's solid blue surrounding the pupil and there are no other symptoms of anything.

I hope I'm wrong, but you might want to look into ocular Marek's Disease. It will turn the iris of the eye a gray color.

Here's a little info, and a picture. There is lots of info available.

The chicks eye doesn't look like the one on Wikipedia

I got a better look at its eye and it is extremely similar to the one in the picture
