Help! Chick with swollen eye suddenly.

[chicksandgoats]

Can anyone give any advice as to what may be going on with my 6 week old chocolate bantam, all of a sudden it has a swollen inner eye corner, mostly in 1 eye. I posted photos of both eyes. No sneezing, coughing, or breathing trouble. Eating and drinking fine. I have isolated it from the other 3 chicks I bought with this one( a silkie, showgirl and an Orpington)- they all seem fine.
These chicks are inside under a heat lamp. I have no introduced them to my 4 outside hens( white rocks all almost 2 years old)

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

So sorry about your baby.

Looks like she may have a sinus infection. Possibly some sort of respiratory infection. You will want to post this in our emergency section for more help...https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/10/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures

They will no doubt want you to start her on antibiotics. I am just not sure which medicine is best for a sinus infection.

I hope you can get her back to good health soon!!

Either of these drugs should treat this from what I think is a sinus infection....
