Hey everyone!
So, about ten minutes ago, I let the chickens out, and the bantam and regular rooster got in a fight. The larger rooster pecked the younger bantams eye, and now it's bleeding! Please advise

Poor Guy!

I would rinse his eye with some warm water and apply some terramycin eye ointment daily to keep it from becoming infected.I would keep him inside in a dog kennel with food and water.You can put some electrotypes in his water as well as offering eggs and tuna.

Okay, thanks for the help! I already washed it out with a saline rinse, and was able to remove the torn tissue. Will do! Hopefully he won't end up blind. Thanks!
 
Does he react when you move your hand towards his eye?Try pointing a flash light towards his eye?Does it blink?


No, the eye has stayed completely shut, and when I shine a light at it, it doesn't move. So I manually opened the lid, and shone the light in it to test his actual eye. The retinal didn't even shrink under the light, and his eye just jitters. There is also a cloudiness to it.
