vaksy Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Hi, I have a Hen of 20 weeks (not laying yet) and she has a problem with her eyes, they have got what looks like saliva bubbles in the corner nearest her beak on both eyes. She is eating, drinking, pecking as normal and seems ok. What could this be and what can i do to help her... Many Thanks Worried Chicken Owner...

Chucky Mama Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I'd pop her along to the vets in case it is mycoplasma.What is her breathing like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollie333 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Any coughing, sneezing? Take her down to the vets. When Jon my Hen had this it was just a cold and ended in a weeks time with some general antibiotics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Hi, is this a new hen recently introduced? If it is it could well have brought mycroplasma with it and as suggested would definitely recommend vet and soluble antibiotic for all the flock. Does she have a bit of a rattly chest and musty smell too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 One of my young hens was getting bubbles in her eyes, her and the other hen she is with both had colds. I'd take her to the vet for antibiotics as a lowered immune system can lead to further problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaksy Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 Thank you for your replies. The hen is as old the others and came from the same place. This morning she seems fine, the eys have cleared up and she seems very happy, could this just have been a bit of a cold? I will keep my eye on her and see if it changes. Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
