I think my Serama is going blind

Our take

Meet Hazel, a delightful 5.5-year-old Serama who’s capturing hearts with her gentle spirit. Recently, her behavior has shifted, leading to concerns that she may be going blind. Despite this, Hazel continues to navigate her world with determination, finding her way to food, water, and treats—though she seems to be missing the mark occasionally when snatching at larger goodies like a whole cucumber. Her preference for staying in the run and heading to bed early adds an endearing touch to her personality. This sweet old lady loves to snuggle and be close to her flock of eight Seramas, with the oldest two reaching a grand age of seven this summer. Sharing her story reminds us how special our feathered friends can be! 🥰

This is Hazel, she’s 5.5 years old. Her behavior has changed and I think she’s going blind. She still makes her way to food and water and treats. Pooping fine. She prefers to stay in the run and unless the treat is something bigger like a whole cucumber she just snatches at the air around it, only occasionally getting bites. Same when I have her out in the grass, she doesn’t quite get close enough to nibble the grass. She puts herself to bed on the roost about an hour before everyone else. She is a sweetheart and wants to just snuggle 🥰. I have a flock of 8 Serama’s, the oldest two will be 7 this summer :)

No real question here, just wanted to share my sweet old lady baby 😊
