Out of the blue about a week ago one of my chickens was closing her eye. I opened her eyelid to see her iris red and a small white dot near the middle. It looked like an injury though I didn't know what. I flushed her eyes out with contact solution and applied triple antibiotic ointment a few times. There were no changes. I never saw drainage and I think it may be mildly swollen though I am new to chickens. She used to be feisty and near the top of the order but now she keeps to herself and is not very active. She seems to be drinking but eating less. I am not sure if its because she is not hungry or that she is avoiding the other birds.
Checking today I saw that her eye is completely white. I don't know what this means. Is it just blind or is there something I need to do for her? My best guess it that she got pecked by one of the other birds.
