We have a 5 mo old hen that has an eye problem. We first noticed about 1 1/2 weeks ago where she wasn't opening one eye. Then a few days later it had some goop (clear to cream color) in it. It is swollen (some days worse than others). For the last week we have been rinsing with saline and applying neosporin (although don't know how much is actually getting in the affected part of eye). It is only one eye - other eye is perfect. No respiratory symptoms. Local vets don't see chickens. What should we do?
sorry for the circumstances. I would be treating exactly as you are. She may not regain vision in the eye, but you should be able to control the infection. Good luck.
