My sweet Thelma is about six years old and an Easter Egger. She is adorable. I noticed about three weeks ago that she has vision problems. She bumps into things, she "misses" the food bowl, but does eventually find it and eat. Same with water.
However, when I give the girls spinach, she misses pecking at it on the ground or miss it when I hold out a piece for her. She will go for it about an inch from where I'm holding the leaf
She does seem to be OK in that she cleans herself and her feathers, dust bathe and goes out on the field trip with the others.
Yet, I'm so stressed as I want to be sure she is getting nourishment. I think she is as she is still acting normal. Also, she sleeps on top of the coop every night and that takes some doing to get up there.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
