Bantam Swollen Eye
« on: July 05, 2013, 03:00:21 pm »
One of my Lavendar Bantams (currently sitting on duck eggs) has got a very swollen eye.
Im guessing maybe it has been pecked by another hen. It looks very sore and puffy.
Is there anything i can bathe on it to reduce swelling/soreness.
 
Thanks

Hi PJB. You can try cold water on a cotton bud -apply it above the eye and let it dribble down. She shouldn't be near the other hens, she should be isolated at this stage preferably in a proper secure broody coop/run.
