I had posted the other day about one of my hens acting strange and noticed a peck injury near her eye which was starting to look infected
I had separated her and put triple antibiotic eye ointment which seemed to help she perked up starting eating/ drinking ect so I put her back with the flock.
Now two other hens have 1 eye that is swollen otherwise acting normally.
I have not introduced any outside flock members.
I purchased pet silver eyewash and vet rx
Does it seem likely that it’s some kind of conjunctivitis going around? If so does the silver eye wash seem appropriate?
No one responded on my thread about my hen the other day so hoping to get some insight. This is the first illness I’ve dealt with since owning chickens.
Thanks so much for your help!
