I have no idea if she was hurt but she acts normal other than unable to see on this side. Have you seen this before? Is there anything we can do or is she permanently blind? There is an EE I had to put in another coop and run due to being attacked. She was lethargic and not laying eggs and they attacked her. I separated her and watched her close and she is back to normal and laying eggs now. I wonder if this hen was hurt during the attack on my EE. I now have her in the other coop with my EE and they are getting along fine. My EE did not have an eye issue so I don't think this is an illness. Any advice?

Her eye is tightly closed. Can you try to open her eye with your finger and thumb, to see if there is any drainage, white matter, or bubbles in the eye? It would be good to know if her eye is injured or pecked, or if it is irritated. You can flush the eye with saline or an eye wash, and apply some Terramycin or plain antibiotic ointment twice a day.
