Our take

Hey, fellow chicken lovers! It sounds like you’ve stumbled upon a cluck-tastrophe with one of your hens. A deformed pupil can be a bit alarming, especially if you hadn’t noticed it before.

Ocular Marek's disease can sometimes play tricks on our hearts, so let’s put our chicken detective hats on. We’ll explore possible causes and solutions together, and you’ll find that you’re not alone in this quirky chicken-keeping journey. Share your observations, and let’s crack this case wide open! 🐔✨ [link] [comments]

Hi all, noticed an issue with one of the hens pupils yesterday. She seems to be okay other than the deformed pupil. Also there doesn’t appear to be any greying of the Iris. I hadn’t noticed it previously. I feel like I would have so it could have developed in the past few weeks. Any ideas?
