Lately my Thelma, an Araucana about six years old had trouble seeing. When she goes to peck at something, she misses it. I've observed her attempting to bite a piece of spinach and she misses it completely.
Fortunately, she is eating well in my trough feeders, so I know she is getting nourishment. She still dirt baths, walks around, sleeps up high and is still as sweet as ever.
I've never noticed this problem in all my years keeping chickens. Is this unique to the breed? Is there anything to do? I'm keeping a close eye on here to be sure she is eating etc. Thanks
