YO GEORGIANS! :)

[PickaLittle]

Hi ya'll! I live out on Whitemarsh island just outside of Savannah's historic district. No chickens yet but hoping to get some soon! Anyone else out that way who would like to chat and share their experiences?

Keep on the sunny side,

Clare

My Polish hens eye is not doing good, she can open it a little bit. It waters, I put some medicine in her water and gave her some antibiotic feed. Any other ideas to help her?

Looks swollen. Do you have any thing to reduce swelling?

For people in South Georgia, I have some mixed breed chicks that will be ready in 4 weeks. $3 each. I cannot tell whether they are roosters or pullets. Please Private Message me or email [email protected]. You can see pictures of some of my chickens at http://cookfarms.yolasite.com/

My 0.02...I would try a warm damp washcloth - is her eye shut because of swelling, or is it all gunked up? Is she breathing normally? You should probably isolate her from others if you haven't already.

I would search and post within this emergencies thread to see if anyone has any better ideas, or you might find someone who has treated something similar already:

This was a few days ago, it doesnt look quite that bad now, but do you mean like neosporin or something like that

Thought of one more thing - have you checked her for mites??

 

[CookFarms]

No, would that affect her eye?
