One of my girls has suddenly gone blind!. Any advice on getting her to eat & drink on her own would be most welcome.

Why has she gone blind, and what makes you think she has gone blind?

I have a friend who has a blind hen, she was dumped in a box at a hen rescue that my friend runs.
She does really well, you will have to do things like keep the waterbowl and feeder in the same place all the time and keep everything familiar for her.
How long has she been blind and do you have any idea why this has suddenly happened?
Do her eyes look a greyish colour?

Just returned from the vet and they have comfirmed she is blind which may be due to a wack on the head...looks like the culprit is our young and very active Brahma Cockerel!.
They think the sight might return in the next 2 weeks.
