This is Pizzaz. She's a five and a half year old Barred Rock hen. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed one of her eyes is strangely wrinkled, with a black something in her top eyelid. I have no idea what is going on. Could something be stuck in her eyelid? That side of her face is also pale and becoming more wrinkled.
Pizzaz isn't in the best of health - She has arthritis in one foot that makes in very difficult to walk (She injured her foot when she was younger). I have to keep her separated from the rest of he flock otherwise they would pick on her. She lives in the coop where she can still see and hear the other chickens, and sometimes if the weather is okay I'll put her out in the chicken run in a cage. She also had a mites about a month back which I treated and thankfully cured.
Any ideas of what could be causing this? I posted pictures of her healthy eye as well for comparison. Thanks for any advice!
