It happened within a matter of weeks. In April, Butters Orpington was a bright-eyed biddy, sunbathing beneath her run\u2019s daisy patch and chasing butterflies around. By early May, she refused to leave her coop.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d try to coax her out. When that didn\u2019t work, I\u2019d pick her up and set her down by her favorite daisy patch. At lock-up, she\u2019d still be beneath the daisies. So I\u2019d pick her up and set her back inside, where she\u2019d ravenously attack the feeder and waterer.<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t sure why she\u2019d be so hungry at dusk\u2014or why she\u2019d stopped perching on the roost, opting instead for a nest box. I chalked it up to older-hen idiosyncrasies \u2026 until my son Jaeson noticed something odd about Butters\u2019 eyes: they seemed clouded over.<\/p>\n

Could Butters be suffering from cataracts?<\/p>\n

What are Cataracts?<\/h2>\n

Cataracts (in chickens as well as people and animals) are a clouding of the lens<\/a> of either one or both eyes. A healthy lens is clear and permits light to pass through<\/a> the eye to the retina, where images are processed. Cataracts block light from passing through the eye, either partially or totally.<\/p>\n

As a result, blindness occurs. Cataracts are one of the leading causes of blindness<\/a> in older humans. They can also affect animals<\/a> such as dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and birds.<\/p>\n

Cataracts and Chickens<\/h2>\n

A 1991 research study<\/a> conducted by the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at Michigan State University noted that large heritage chickens such as Brahmas may be predisposed to developing cataracts. According to Michigan State University\u2019s R.M Fulton, DVM PhD, cataracts can also develop as a result of Marek\u2019s Disease or avian encephalomyelitis.<\/p>\n

Exposure to continual lighting or ammonia<\/a> can also lead to cataracts, as can a nutrient-poor diet. Cataracts can also develop as a sign of old age.<\/p>\n

Signs of Cataracts<\/h2>\n

While there are other causes of blindness in chickens, such as injury, infection and parasites<\/a>, cataracts tend to stand out because of the milky, cloudy appearance of the afflicted eye.<\/p>\n

If one of your birds starts being clumsy, continually bumps into things, seems confused about where she is, and becomes increasingly inactive, check her eyes. If her pupils seem enlarged or irregularly shaped<\/a> or if you notice a discoloration of her eyes, she may suffer from cataracts.<\/p>\n

Butters\u2019 Diagnosis<\/h2>\n

One look at Butters\u2019 eyes immediately brought to mind my grandmother’s sister, whose milky-white eyes are an early-childhood memory I\u2019ll never forget. Both of Butters\u2019 eyes were the same milky-white color as my great aunt\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Suddenly Butters\u2019 reduced activity and her refusal to roost at night became crystal clear to me. She couldn\u2019t see where she was going.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s also why I kept finding her under the daisies. Poor Butters couldn\u2019t find her way back to the coop entrance.<\/p>\n

As Jaeson held her, I slowly moved my fingers by her eyes. Butters did not respond. As a final test, I had Jaeson place Butters back inside the coop as I lifted the feeder off its stand. Butters dipped and pecked at the air, trying to connect with the absent feeder.<\/p>\n

That convinced us. Butters was blind.<\/p>\n

Since we feed our flocks nutritious layer rations, do not use artificial lighting and regularly clean our coops, we could only think of one cause for Butters\u2019 cataracts: old age. Butters turns 7 on June 30th.<\/p>\n

Helping Afflicted Chickens Thrive<\/h2>\n

A chicken (or chickens) afflicted with cataracts can lead a happy, healthy life with some modifications. First and foremost is to create a smaller run for her directly around her coop. A blind chicken will feel more secure and comfortable in an area that is familiar to her.<\/p>\n

Vision loss can result in your bird becoming lost in a larger run or while free ranging. This will cause her stress and leave her open to predator attacks.<\/p>\n

Second, avoid rearranging the interior of your coop. Your hen counts on finding food and water in their accustomed places. If you notice that your hen is losing weight, she may not be finding her way to the feeder. You may need to gently dip her beak towards the food.<\/p>\n

Third, make reassuring sounds and talk to her while you feed her and whenever you are performing coop maintenance, as this will alert her to your presence and prevent her from becoming startled.<\/p>\n

Finally, be sure to keep an eye on the rest of your flock. Lower-ranked birds may take this opportunity to rise in rank by bullying and pecking your vision-impaired girl.<\/p>\n

Butters and her flock have adapted beautifully to her new condition and living requirements. TJ, the coop rooster, is especially protective of Butters. Upon release every morning, he stands outside the coop door and clucks encouragingly until she joins him.<\/p>\n

He then stays by her side, scratching and alerting her of any tasty treats he uncovers and otherwise shepherding her around the run.<\/p>\n

Butters has started going in on her own now, too, instead of sitting out by the daisies, awaiting rescue. She now prefers to sleep in her favorite nest box. This past weekend, we found tangible proof that Butters is indeed content in spite her condition: a large brown egg in her nest box.<\/p>\n

As the only brown-egg layer in the coop, Butters couldn\u2019t have given us a clearer sign that cataracts weren\u2019t going to slow her down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
