Hello all,
Today I noticed one of my hens has some sort of white debris in/on the back of her eye. I'm not sure if it's pus or something else. Looking at other threads here other people's chickens eyes were swollen, but for mine it doesn't appear to be. Attached are photos of her right eye (debris eye; 1st & 2nd) and the normal one (3rd).
As far as I know she doesn't get into any fights, she's been broody for the past few months. (I'll take her outside though on the weekends when I'm home so she's at least getting some sun and not sitting in a box all day). I didn't see this on her eye last night when I was locking everyone up either.
I don't want to poke and prod at something and make things worse without knowing what this is first. No signs of lethargy either, and she blinks just fine/normally with both eyes.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thank you taking the time to read this!!
