Adult turkey suddenly blind

[Songbird21]

My brother's favorite turkey hen developed pure white eyes in just 3 days. We have no idea what's going on. We have her quarantined for now and my brother is considering putting her down. Any chance this could be reversed? Is it something contagious? Please help!

That is very odd! @Wyorp Rock?

But can it see?? I have a parrot that developed something similar, took her to the vet who said it was an ulceration.. but she can still see.. so strange, i had no explanation for why it happened to my bird either.

Could this be pox affecting the eyes?

Any other symptoms like respiratory illness?
How is the turkey house, plenty of ventilation?

I don't know much about Turkeys or what ails them. Hopefully others will be able to chime in with some suggestions. @casportpony @R2elk @Huntmaster

Thank you for your attempts to help but the turkey is so depressed she won't eat. My brother has decided to end her suffering.

I remember reading another thread in the past about a rooster having this problem with its nictating membranes (3rd eyelid)
