What is the reason for swollen corns?

It’s natural to be concerned and confused when we notice a chicken with a swollen eye. Swollen eyes can have a number of different causes, including:

• Infections: Chickens can develop eye infections, especially if they are kept in a dirty environment. Both common bacterial and viral infections can cause swollen eyes.
• Injury: Chickens' eyes may be injured by irritation or collision with external objects, causing swelling of the eyes.
• Keratitis: Keratitis is a common eye disease that can cause swelling and redness of the eye.
• Malnutrition: If the chicks are not receiving adequate nutrition in their diet, it can lead to physical problems, including swollen eyes.
• Other symptoms: Swollen eyes may also be a symptom of a disease, such as conjunctivitis, infectious rhinotracheitis, etc.

How to deal with swollen corns?

When we find that the chicken's eyes are swollen, we should take some measures to deal with it in time:

• Isolate the source of infection: If the swollen eyes are caused by an infection, the chicks should be isolated quickly to prevent the spread of the disease to other chicks.
• Clean the eyes: Gently clean the chicken's eyes with warm water and a non-irritating cleanser to help relieve symptoms.
• Veterinary care: If the eye swelling does not improve within a day or two, or is accompanied by other symptoms, the chick should be taken to the veterinarian immediately. The veterinarian will give a specific treatment plan based on the specific situation.
• Improve diet: Make sure the chicks get adequate and balanced nutrition to help their bodies recover.
