Sigo, I don't want to hurt your feelings but chickens can live with one eye. Someone let a pet rat with beautiful markings that had a special name go at our farm. I couldn't catch it in a trap, and ended up poisoning it. A staff member at school wanted itbut when it bit my silkies, war was declared. The rat bit the eye on 3 of my inquisitive silkies. I treated them with eye ointment and oral antibiotics. Both hens are alive, lay and my red pyle silkie rooster is fertile. I have eggs due to hatch under my hens. A friend here, member/Dave, has seen my red pyle and that he is well and alive.

I think you are misunderstanding me. If she is still ILL in two weeks then she doesn't have the abilitiy to fight the infection with the antibiotic. If she is fine let her go a while but she still must be put down as birds cannot live with one eye. The difference is in a sick bird and no chance of harvesting of the meat opposed to a well bird and harvesting the meat perhaps for other
livestock like dogs.
