my chicken has swollen eye with bubbling liquid

Well, because that law got passed earlier this year that you can't buy antibiotics without a vet license, I took a few to the vet. He said it was PROBABLY coryza. Gave them some antibiotic powder for the water. I'm a little confused since antibiotics don't help with viruses, which Coryza supposedly is (per vet). Ah well, they've started to recover anyway.
Glad you were able to see a vet.
According to this, Coryza is a bacteria:

I got 40 new chicks this year. More than half have died. Currently I have 14 isolated and have swollen eyes. Not all have swollen eyes but showed signs of infection. I treated with eye drops and Neosporen. I had some recovered.
After finding this thread, I got some new antibiotic from the store. Three days later most have shown considerable recovery. I still have three with swollen eyes, but I still have to keep them together and treat all to prevent a recurrence of infection.
I have been trying to clean the cage and water twice a day. My chicks are kept inside and the other chickens are outside all the time.
