Swollen Eye

Uh-oh! It sounds like Goldie might be having a bit of an eye-venture! A swollen eye in chickens can be a cluck-tastic mystery, and while it’s great that she’s acting normally and there’s no discharge, it’s definitely worth keeping an eye on—pun intended!

Sometimes, it’s just a harmless bump, but it’s always best to play it safe and keep an eye on her behavior. If Goldie's eye doesn’t improve or if she starts acting off, a vet visit might be in order. Let’s dig into some possible causes and how to help your feathered friend feel her best!
