Okay. So I went to the store and picked up something similar to veteracyn. It is called banixx for chicks. The bottle mentioned that is is safe to use around the eye but never said if it is safe to use in the eye. Should I flush it with this?

Oh not sure about that one! We have only used vetracin.

She seems calmer than yesterday. She was down with the other chickens when I found her this morning. Other than her eye she seems alright. I separated her from the other chickens and she ate and drank. I am just really worried about her eye. It does not look good.

I have been treating her injury and she will hopefully make a full-ish recovery. I have been feeding her extra healthy foods (eggs, onions applesauce) and have been treating her eye with banixx. She seems nomal otherwise than that. Thank you for all of you help I will keep you guys updated!

I had something very similar happen to one of my hens. We had just gotten new ameracauna hens that were rather scrawny. Somehow they found a way to fly out of the pen. It was about March when this happen so there was still a lot of snow on the ground. I went to the coop to find my hen covered in blood, bruised and feathers everywhere! My dog was laying beside the chicken looking pretty guilty. The hen had ice stuck to her feathers and she was almost frozen. We took a blow dryer warmer her up, dried her off and put her in the house in a big dog cage with food, water, a nice bed and a her other hen friend. The cuts and bruises eventually healed with us washing them out with saline solution and then put some ointment on top of it. She also had a small hematoma but 4 months later is fully feathered, totally normal and laying like crazy!

Could you get Terramycin?
@Wyorp Rock ... My curiosity, could Neosporin without the pain relief be used also?

Yes, plain original Neosporin can be used in the eye.
