So my big male rooster Junior who is Silver phoenix/Maran attacked one of our new roosters (Eagle) Tuesday, pecked out his left eye. The attack happened when I was moving chickens around and happened before I could grab him, I've contacted the vets and they can't get him in. I got a hold of a...
I’ve tried searching through the threads and can’t seem to find something similar— also researched for two days now what could be wrong- so thanks for any help!
I have about an 11 week cockoo Maran whose one eye is swollen, shut most of the time, and when she opens it’s clouded over with...
This is Charlotte, she is a little Easter egger. I just went out to their coop and was holding her and realized that her eye is goopy and she’s keeping it closed. She also seems to be missing some feathers down that side of her neck but I see not sign of injuries and I haven’t seen her fighting...
Hi everyone, I came home from work today to find that my duck has been a little wonky all day (my family told me she was “acting dizzy”), so I went to check on her and noticed something wrong with her left eye. I don’t know if it’s a disease or if she got poked or what, I’ve never seen anything...
Hello! I just went to check on my hens and noticed one has her eye closed. We removed her from the flock to get a closer look, she held it closed until we put her down in an isolation pen. She then opened it and I noticed it was red. She had been fine all day. This was noticed a bit after they...

Hi I really don’t know what to do. I looked around online for resources and I just don’t know where to start. Yesterday a dog bit my chicken ( Pistol) by the head. Luckily I got him to let go and got her out before any more damage could be done. She’s alive and alert. She’s a couple years old (2...
Hello friends - First-time duck owner here. I have two 4 weeks old ducklings and five 5-month-old chickens. Today I noticed one of the eyes on my Runner is red in the pupil and not the whites. I suspect that one of my hens pecked the Runner through the kennel where the ducklings are housed. I'm...
My 7-8 week old Cream Legbar had her face scratched by a possum on Tuesday night (we caught it and fixed the weakness in her housing). It seemed fine, but then I noticed that it is a green color above the wound. My daughter also thinks her face looks a little more red than usual. Is there...
I have a hen, who is about 3 years old. One of her eyes is really dialated, similar to one with Mareks disease. She doesnt have any other symptoms to Mareks, she seems healthy otherwise. At first I thought she was really excited for food, but the one eye stayed dialated. She acts just the same...
I was letting my five chickens free range while my family and I went out to eat. Somehow, Someway, my dog and my neighbors puppy got to them and attacked. Most of my chickens were fine other than being utterly terrified but one of my younglings has a bloody, completely red and closed eye. Please...

Hello,
I have a 12 week old Welsumer hen who was exhibiting lethargic behavior and was very unbalanced when we got back from a weekend away during the holiday. When I started to look her over I noticed her right eye was closed. My first thought was that she was pecked by another of the more...
