Hello everyone,
I have some concerns, I have a one year old Tom. For some reason I’ve just notice his eye has a white discharge and Idk what it is nor how to clean it. Is it bacterial or viral or just eye boogers. If so, the flock doesn’t have any of those issues just him. Can anyone help me...
Hi, I posted a thread about my chicken and I’m so thankful for people who responded to that one. I’m hoping to reach more people. My one year old chicken is not seeing properly, keeping her one eye shut and yesterday she managed to eat lots if I keep my hand close to her eye. She can’t aim and...
Help! I’m new to chickens and trying to do my best for them!
I have 4 hens that are 6-7months old. One of my black sex-link’s eyes is closed at all times, and when I hope the lids, her nictitating membrane doesn’t move/remains there so her eye looks cloudy.
No sign of respiratory illness - no...
Hello to anyone that can help. Just this morning I went outside after letting out the chickens from their coop and found all my chickens hiding. One chicken in particular was hiding under the hose coil. We found that she had been attacked and had a little cut on her head, but her eye is the...
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?
I've read through the forum, looked at pictures and decided to try and post.
Background, I am in year 2 of a backyard flock. I had 4 until spring and transferred them back to a friend. In March, I got 4 chicks from Tractor Supply and in May got 4 more (two ended up being roosters) and then...
Hi! I had a chick hatch out 5 days ago and it was pecked and across the coop when I found it, it had a wing injury and I took care of it but I didn’t notice its eye was pecked until the next day. It was just shut, not swollen yet but not it’s very swollen and looks like a big piece of pus or...
Hi chicken experts, I’d appreciate your advice about what to do for my poor chicken! She seems to have gotten something lodged between her eye and eyelid: I uploaded a short video of what I’m seeing. It looks to me like a foxtail or maybe even a feather, plus some pus around it? I wrapped her up...
Hey guys,
You know that “when it rains it pours” thing? Yeah, I’m underwater, I already was, had a broody duck during a hurricane who refused to move. (She managed to hatch 6 fresh babies hatched over the weekend) Then we had a whole paycheck snafu, lost all the fridges and freezers worth in an...
Hi all. I have a 9 week old chick who was pecked in the lower eyelid 1 week ago. It started out with just a tiny amount of redness on the lower eyelid and the inner eyelid was slightly exposed. I started treating it with terramycin eye ointment three times a day two days ago and it’s getting...
My year old Easter Egger hen Arthur suddenly got ill, suddenly as in the past two days. We knew she had bumblefoot and I ordered a treatment kit I was just waiting for it to arrive when probably the day before yesterday she was kind of closing one eye and wouldn't free range she just stayed...
So today i noticed my hen being alot quieter than usual, so Ive had a look at her and the only things i can find wrong is this black spot coming out of her pupil, it seems like its irritating her as she has this eye shut most of the time, its dilating but only very slightly.
She also seems to...
I have three 11 day old chicks, they are free ranging with mom all day and sleep with her at night. I have a flock of about 50 and only my three new chicks have this!
It’s hard bumps around the eyes, two have red discoloration by the beak..
Could it be ant bites?
The eye shape in the photo...
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.
Hello!
I have one of my ducks who seems to have taken on the role of being the problem child, She is one out of the two of my younger ducks (freshly one) and she seems to be quite the baby. Once she and her sister got older with my chickens (I got the chickens a month before Peanut and Pickle...
Hi all! Just woke up to find my girl looking like this! Is she missing an eye? I’m so upset I feel so awful. She’s seems fine otherwise, eating, drinking, running around. I have separated her from the others but am worried this will stress her out as she has two buddies she has a strong bond...
What should I do for my hen? I went out this afternoon and she was walking around with one eye closed. I walked up to her and tried to get her to open her eye, but she wouldn’t or couldn’t open it. I can make it come open, but she opens her beak a little like it hurts. My roosters been beating...
Hi all,
I have a 1.5 year old golden laced Wyandotte named Ruthie. Yesterday morning I went in to scoop poop and noticed she hadn’t come down from her roost. Her bum had a bit of droppings on it (not normal for her), and the droppings underneath her were quite watery and slightly yellow. Up...
