My Hen's Playing Hide-and-Seek With the Coop Again: and One Eye's Squinting

One eye squinting, tail feathers drooping, and a coop that might as well be invisible after dark, this bantam hen is serving up a mystery that's more fowl play than a bad pun. The vet cleared her for egg binding and the radiographs looked fine, so a round of deworming and vitamins seemed like the cure. She perked up, went back to the flock, and two days later? Right back to the same oddball behavior. It's the kind of chicken conundrum that makes you question your sanity, and your vet's confidence. If you've dealt with a stubborn case that defies explanation, you're not alone.
