    Pale and/or swollen faces, trying to decide treatment

    Last week one of my hens developed a swollen face/eye. We consulted an online vet and were prescribed antibacterial eyedrops. These arrived on Tuesday and I'm not sure they're fixing the issue.

    Eye Injury or Infection

    I have a broody hen who is a couple days out from eggs hatching. I went to check on her today and noticed her eye. Watching her it looks like she will repeatedly blink until her eye looks “normal” but then quickly goes back to looking like this. Any suggestions on what it is or what to do for her?

    Maybe she’s born with it…..

    This chick I hatched (I’ve named her maybelline), has a black line behind each eye. I thought it was dirt at first, but it’s bilaterally symmetrical. Anyone know if it’s something that warrants investigation, or is it just a weird feather marking?

    Help diagnosing chicken eye infection

    Hi everyone — any help at all you can provide about our hen’s eye infection we observed yesterday would be really welcome. There aren’t any avian vets near us and we don’t have experience with this kind of infection. She seems to be walking around and eating fine and her other eye looks normal.
