Warning:Getting pecked in the eyball REALLY hurts!!

[kirsty b]

True, was happily putting a few onion sets in while the girls were ranging. One of them strolls over and pecked me right in the eye. You can imagine the language, but as I had both eyes shut I couldn't catch which one did it, it would have been dinner if I had.

Anyhoo, eye is still very painful 3 hours later, so am going to doc to have it checked. I just know he's gonna laugh.......I would if it was someone else!!

[shirlthegirl43]

OUCH!! Hope it is okay Kirsty

[FionaH]

Ouch!! ......

[Nicos]

Ouch....ouch...

Someone else a few weeks ago had their eye pecked too..who was it???
Hope they're fine now.

You'll probably get antibiotic eyedrops...ooo..and a big black patch- or a big wodge of cotton wool held on with a huge piece of zinc tape ( after shaving your eyebrow to help it stick better)...nah ...sorry....couldn't resist the image though!

Hope it's better soon.x

[vicky]

That sounds painful!!! (But quite Fawlty Towers too!)

[lainey lou]

Ouch hun!!
I got a peck on the lip the other day, healed up fairly quickly but eyes are another matter.
Hope you get on OK with the Doc.

[Pumpkin Becki]

Ooh dear - hope you're okay Kirsty. Send all the chooks to the norty step until one owns up!

[Flummery]

Oh dear! You won't be eyeballing a chicken again in a hurry I reckon! Hope it's soon sorted.

[HayleyB]

Ouch, I hope it's ok Kirsty, it's always sommat I consider when bending down around the girls

[frias]

Oooh ouch. Hope it's OK. Let us know how you get on at the docs.
The girls ate all my onions. Read somewhere not to give then onions. Well I didn't but they helped themselves anyway.

[kirsty b]

It IS funny. Doc put some stain in and had a look, says the peck caused some mild ulceration/scratch on the surface of eye. Prescribed some drops, wwhich he informs me will take a couple of days to feel the effect of. Bonus is, my pharmacist says drops cheaper to buy over counter than on script.

Ruddy bird......

[Eyren]

Ow! (((hugs)))

Makes me glad I wear glasses these days, not contacts...

[Nicos]

No eye patch?????...d'oh!!!!...wink wink ouch...

[Pumpkin Becki]

We'll club together and send you some safety specs...they should include that in those 'how to keep chooks' books - wear specialist eye protection at all times!
