Today I noticed my hen's left eye was completely swollen shut--out of nowhere (I check on them periodically throughout the day). She's eating, drinking, active, etc. and no signs of sneezing or fluid that I can tell. Could this be an illness? Injury? Anyone know what I can do for her?
Thank you!!
I just discovered that one of my chickens' eye is injured. She was keeping it closed so I figured it was some minor irritation or something but when she opened it I found that instead of brown, it was a solid cloudy red color like it was filled with blood or something. I couldn't see the pupil...

So one of my teenage chicks was trying to escape the coop as my sister was leaving and got herself shut in the door...at first we thought she had a broken neck and wasn't going to make it but she then was able to move just fine so we threw out that idea. However, there was a lot of blood around...
Hello! Today we were throwing some scraps to the chickens and the dog got a piece of food. One of the hens, Rosa, got too close and my dog attacked her. She is about a year old hen of the Isa Brown breed. She is currently in a cage in a warm, quiet bathroom in the basement. She is wrapped in...
Hey everyone! I picked up two 3 month old Easter egger girls last weekend and everything has been great until today I noticed one of my girls’ eyes was covered in blood.
If you look closely at the pics, you can see 3 bumps around the eye (top, bottom and back) her other eye is normal and she is...
Hi everyone. My Cochin’s eye on one side is completely stuck shut, and her nostril on the same side is bloody with crusty blood. The other side is completely fine. Her breathing sounds a little congested. Any clues as to what could be going on? What should I do?
I have a 2 yo buff Orpington that has a swollen face around her right eye. It came on in a matter of hours, she was fine when I let them out in the morning yesterday, then in the afternoon it was swollen. I gave her .5ml children’s Benadryl yesterday, along with some antibiotic ointment on the...
Good morning all,
I am a little confused and need your help. Friday evening I noticed my Ameraucana’s left eye was swollen, watery, and pretty much featherless. I have read articles advising to flush eye injuries with saline and apply Neosporin around the eye. Then other articles advise to...
One of my young Seramas (approx. 2 1/2 months) got stuck between the dog kennel and the wall. I think one of the big ones may have chased him in there. I found him stuck and when I unstuck him and got him out, I saw that his right eye is damaged. I can't tell if the eye is still there or not...

I just checked on my hens and peafowl, who have been with a friend of mine in their chicken coop, and infuriated to find that one of my hens, Thelma, has a big problem with her eyes. They are both swollen, one much more than the other, and the right eye is almost completely shut, oozing with...
Hello everyone!
So my rooster Francis (the rooster on my profile except he's all grown up and fabulous now) got attacked by two puppies we had (I gave them away) and he got some neck injuries.
Now he was recovering from that and he started eating and drinking on his own again until one of my...

I lost 2 hens to a raccoon attack and had 1 hen survive the attack with injuries last Tuesday night. Her throat and shoulder was ripped up a bit but I was able to clean it up and use a spray on bandage recommended to me. Her eye is also hurt and I’m at a loss. It has...
A week ago my young rooster suffered a major blow to his eyes by a sliding door. Since then, I’ve washed his eyes out with a homemade saline solution three times a day, and have put terramycin on two times a day. His right eye seems to be doing okayish, but his left pupil has been...
I noticed my silkie roo had some swelling above his eye last night around 9pm. He also had a small blood spot in the center of his comb (did not appear to have swelling there). I checked him again at 530 this morning and the swelling seems to be worse. The photo is from last night. I'm thinking...
Hello!

I started out...
Just barely I went out to check on my chickens and noticed a problem. My Barred Rock's left eye was closed. Sometimes she would open it, but I think it hurts to do so. There's no swelling or other problems, just the fact that she's keeping it closed. I'm sure it will be fine, but I definitely...
So my both male Pekin ducks have been fighting lately and very aggressively. One of them injured the other eye. The first picture has like some foam coming out of it and then the other is when I spray water and the foam disappears. I don't know how I can cure it or what I can use. Can you help me?
