Abstract
Avian tears originate from two sources: a relatively small lacrimal gland located at the lateral canthus of the eye, and a much larger Harderian gland located medial to the eyeball within the orbit. In the chicken, the Harderian gland is the dominant orbital gland1, producing a mucoid secretion2,3 that aids in corneal lubrication.
