chicken with shut eye

[stewartowen]

Hi
One of my chickens(3 years old) has a shut eye and will not open it. She sat on the roosts all day and never left. She made very little noise, but occasionally she shuffled around on her perch. What is wrong, how can we fix it, and is she ill or just recovering?Please help, I don't want to lose my chicken!!!!
thanks, David

Is your chicken with other chickens that could have pecked her eye? We have had that happen to a few birds. Sometimes when they open their eye back up, the eye will be healed. Other times the eye will have lost vision.
Best wishes to your hen
