StephenW Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Hi Guys, My friend has recently bought a few ISA Brown Hbrid POL pullets but 1 or two of them have a swollen eye and I am not sure why so I was wondering if you could help and diagnose from a photo. Im not an expert and would appreciate any help. I have put the picture of the bird below Many Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavclojak Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Are the eyes discharging anything, bubbles or the like? I'd so Could be a respiratory condition. What bedding is he using? Could be a reaction to dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenW Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Hi gavclojak, He says there is a bit of discharge like watery. He is just using straw in the nest box. Thanks STeve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixieDust Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 There appears to be a bubble in the corner of her eye. Myco or Coryza? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 The whole face colouring is wrong here Stephen. White tips on the comb, pale skin and a pale beak. The eyelid is pale also, accepting there may be some discharge. Never seen this before and suspect it is something major, so you need the opinion of a vet. If seen in our flock I would say heart problem and immediately PTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Given that your Pekin also has something wrong with her eyes, is it possible you could have transferred something nasty between your friends flock and your own? I think you both need to get them to the vet asap and separate the obviously affected birds from the rest of the flock in case it is contagious. Keep us posted and good luck.

StephenW Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Thanks guys, I didnt realise it was this bad. I dont think I have transferred any thing because my hen had her eye condition a few weeks ago and my friends ISA brown was only bought a couple of weeks ago and they werent near each other. I have got my friend to keep them away from the rest of the birds for now. Many Thanks Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
