hi newbie here help needed please on sick little pekin.

Been browsing the pages and found it most helpfull and friendly.

The prob i have is my last remaining pekin is sick! she was hatched by me 2 years or so ago and has always lived out. recently she has been sitting still on the ground so i put her in isolation. Her eye and side of face was swollen slightly. yesterday her eye was closed with the swelling and the other eye weepy.
 Has any1 got any ideas what has caused this? like i said she has always lived up a tree just joining the flock in daytime as and when she felt like it.

I love my chooks and will post pic of them all soon, i currently have 2 old marans and 2 sussex hens plus cock, a maran cross as well as my pekin. fox munched my last brahmah last week. they all free roam in the day and  sleep in at night. sorry to ramble! thanks guys.

Hiya Netty welcome to the forums    sorry to hear about your hen    I'd suspect an infection of some sort but I'm a relative novice compared to lots of people on here, perhaps you should take her to the vets ?

Yes it sounds like an infection of some kind.  Antibiotics may be needed.
