Sudden color change eye

[Lady Who]

The second pic is the different color eye
my 3 year old rooster left eye has changed colors.

I was a collage so I wasn’t a able to see how fast and when it happened.

Does anyone have a clue what going on?

It can be a symptom of Marek's. Have any new birds been added to the flock in recent months? Has he ever been lame? Does he have any other unusual symptoms at the moment. Maybe stumbling or walking backwards or head shaking? Hopefully it is just something cosmetic or maybe just like a cataract in humans.

When he was a chick he got his shot for that but I don’t know how long it lasts.

He has no other symptom, no new hens, it happen months ago so if he has marks he would be dead by now.

he still the same jerk

Ocular Marek’s is all I could think of. Do you know if he had any other symptoms while you were gone?

 

[staceyj]

I’ve read that the manifestation of ocular mareks can be less ravaging and that birds can live years with it.

I looked it up and I might not understand it but it said it was DNA virus.
I’m now going to ask the important question
Can my hen get it? And how long can he live?

I noticed that he lost a little weight but we took our chickens off corn because it’s summer so all my chickens lost weight.

I hate to say it, but it looks like ocular Marek's to me. Can you take more close up pictures?

It may be a result of the marek's vaccine when he was a chick.
