An angry broody hen pecked me in the eye

[TheCountryBoy]

Earlier today one of my Old English Game Bantams wasn’t happy with me and pecked me in the eye. I’m not sure if I closed my eye when it did hit me but it hurts a lot. Me and my family are closely monitoring my eye for infection and we have eye drops on standby if one is spotted. Mainly what I want to know, from any of your experiences, how long did it hurt for?


Update July 2, 2024: I'm doing a lot better and I thank the lord for keeping me safe. I no longer need the eyepatch and the injured eye is just a bit blurry.

Yikes, sorry!!

I've not been pecked by a chicken in the eye, but can tell you in my 64 years on this planet, I've been poked in the eye many times. Generally, after 24 hours it feels so much better. Two days later, it's nearly just a memory.

If it's hurting, I'd take a Tylenol or something like that.

If your vision is altered in any way, you should see an eye doctor regardless.

Agree, doctor.
