What is on my chickens eye?

[Edornetto]

I am new to having chickens, we raised them from chicks and they are about 10 to 12 weeks old. The other day I noticed that one of my hens had a white spot on her eye... I thought maybe it was just some debris or some thing and that it would go away, but today I noticed it is still there, and upon a closer look I am concerned that it is possibly something that we should be worried about/need to take care of. Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? Any input is appreciated!

Do you have a steady hand? I would grab something like tweezers and grab it out if that's possible...

Just make sure the bird is calm

I don’t think there’s any way she’d stay still to let me do that

Hypnotizing triggers the fear reaction in chickens, so it's actually pretty cruel.

OP, does it look solid or kind of soft? My first thought was a scale or feather sheath, but it may also be pus.

You could also try flushing her eye (gently) with Vetericyn or saline.

Tweezers and eyes are not a good combination, usually.

I think it is hard to tell for sure but it looks similar to eye flukes to me .
