Strange pupil shape?

[Thechickenchick2]

I just checked and her pupil does respond to light - not sure if that does or doesn’t mean anything

An odd shaped pupil can be a sign of ocular Mareks disease. There is another cause of a keyhole shaped pupil called coloboma, which is a birth defect that occurs in people, birds, and animals. Ocular Mareks can cause a grey iris, a pinpoint pupil, and the irregular shaped pupil.

Are there other signs I should be looking for?

You may want to check her from time to time to make sure that she can see out of both eyes, or if there is any color change or cloudiness in the eyes. Here is a link with pictures of ocular mareks:

Eye color and actual structure of parts of the eye are totally different things. An animal being born with 2 different colored eyes being no concern does not mean that differences in the structure of an eyeball is not concerning. Structure of the pupil, differences in structure and changes in the structure can be indicative of many problems from trauma to disease.

I know but some animals are born like that. Geez I was just trying to make the owner feel better

I’m not trying to argue
