The first picture of the eye is cloudy and could be a cataract or from infection. The foamy eye and swelling are sometimes from a chronic respiratory disease called mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG.) It is contagious to the flock, and all chickens in your flock will be carriers. Antibiotics such as Tylosin, Denagard, and oxytetracycline may treat symptoms. MG can be passed through hatching eggs as well as direct contact.

Silver shield also works amazingly well.

A bit more expensive, but it's extremely high quality and works awsome.

Any chance it is Coryza or ocular Mareks?

It's not ocular Marek's.
It could be the start of Coryza "IF" there is an unmistakable foul odor around the head area. No foul odor, most likely MG.

@GaraP21
TSC may carry Tylan and Oxytetracycline injectables.

GaraP21, what is your general location? For the next month in the US, certain antibiotics that include Tylan 50, may be found in some feed stores. Some are still available online. But after that antibiotics will usually need to come from a vet.
