Oh, dear. That doesn't look good. Have you tried flushing with polysporin for eyes?

I know it sounds odd but that's not swelling. Her eyelds are thick and almost lumpy. They always have been but it's worsening as she ages. I did do eye drops on her a little over a year ago for a couple weeks because another chicken pecked her in the eye. When they go after her they seem to be attracted to her eyes which is why I don't leave her in general population anymore. She had a good day inside the fenced garden today with me tasting tomatoes and dust bathing.

As soon as I hit send I had a thought that her eyelids are like cauliflower ears on boxers.
