swollen eye?

Our take

Hey there, fellow chicken enthusiasts! It sounds like you’re diving headfirst into the delightful world of feathered friends, and we applaud your efforts in rescuing those hens. However, we understand that one of your new pals has a swollen eye, and that can definitely be concerning. It’s great that you’re seeking advice—after all, even the most experienced chicken owners can find themselves in a clucking conundrum! The swelling could be from a previous injury or a potential health issue, so it’s important to get the right guidance. Don’t hesitate to share more pictures or details; the more info, the better! Let’s rally together and help your hen find her way back to a happy, healthy life!

hello, my family rescued three hens a couple of days ago. this is the first time we have taken care of chickens and so we have a very slim amount of knowledge but we are trying our hardest to provide a good life for them.

I'm posting here because one of the hens has had an incredibly swollen eye the entire time we have had her. the picture is included, I hope it is somewhat easy to see - her eye stays shut like this the vast majority of the time. I'm not sure if this should be chalked up to an injury before we got her or if it is a health concern. If anyone could offer their advice or give any suggestions, it would be extremely appreciated.

I'm also happy to provide more pics/info if needed. thank you!
