Hello! I have noticed that one of my roosters has swollen eyes. They look a little red and squinty. None of my other birds have this going on. I'm not sure what to do about it or if I need to do anything. Looking for advice - thank u!

He has bubbles in his eye as well, so it may be a respiratory/sinus disease called mycoplasma (MG.) Have you seen him sneezing or having noisy breathing? Have you added any new birds to the flock in the last couple of weeks? I would buy some Tylosin from a pigeon site online, if you cannot get it from your vet. Dosage is 1 tsp per gallon for 5 days. Here is where you can get it:

Here is some reading about MG:

Thank you for your reply! He has not been sneezing and he's not wheezing and we have not introduced any new birds. His personality hasn't changed much either. He is one of my calmer roosters.
