Yes she can see out of her other eye and is drinking plenty and eating some on her own. I also am taking the time daily to ensure she is getting enough water and food. her other eye thankfully is not horrible but still irritated.If there's no lesions inside the beak, then this is Dry Form Fowl Pox, it's still serious, but usually will resolve over the course of a few weeks.
Can she see out of her other eye?
Some say yes, open the eye, some say no. Personally, I'd try to get the eye open or keep it "working" so it doesn't get fused over/closed by scabbing.
The one that is scabbed up i carefully tried opening it today but the tissue is very firm and wouldn't stay open but i did get some rinse in it and a little terramycin at least. I just don't want to hurt her by messing with it too much more but don't want her to lose her vision either obviously. Ugh Thanks for your advice it's so appreciated. No sign of this illness in any of my other chickens so far thankfully but hope it stays that way.
