I have this Speckled Sussex, she is almost a year old. Her weight is normal right now, but her eyes are runny with a clear but goopy liquid. The skin above her eyes is swelling as well.
She was standing around drooping her head and wings earlier today, and now she is sitting in the nesting box not wanting to get up. I am sure she is not there to lay an egg; she laid one earlier today.These symptoms just started today, as I said before.
None of my other chickens have these symptoms, they are all walking around the yard happily. She doesn't have any injuries, as far as I can tell.
I don't know what might have caused this, though my fool of a dad bought a different type of wood chips for bedding (for the chickens), and didn't check if the wood chips had pesticides on them (do they put stuff on wood chips?). She has been drinking normally, I haven't seen her eating, but she may have been eating when I was not there. My hen's poop looks normal. I haven't tried to treat her yet.
