    swollen eye, lethargic, laying rubber eggs

    Plain neosporin or Terramycin ointment would be good to use on the wounds, so hopefully they will heal soon. If a vet is possible, I would take her in, but I would let her skin heal before trying anything else. BluKote should not be used near the eyes. Keep her away from flies until the wound is...

    swollen eye, lethargic, laying rubber eggs

    The sinus cavities are connected to the roof of the beak, and sometimes you may see thickened pus in the choanal slit. If pus is there, sometimes you can push up there to express pus out the eye socket. I will be honest with you, that I have never had a chicken with pus in the eye socket or in...

    swollen eye, lethargic, laying rubber eggs

    I am sorry. Could you try to see a vet? Can you look up into the roof of the beak to see if there is any up there from the sinuses?

    The Tylan50 would be good to use, especially if mycoplasma (MG) is the cause. Since the MG organism does not have a cell wall, it will not respond to amoxicillin. But Tylan, oxytetracycline, and Denagard are some of the things it will respond to. Dosage of Tylan 50 injectable is 1/4 ml per...

    I would be reluctant to cut anything, but just try to squeeze or probe, even though there are videos of people doing that to peafowl. Being there so long, it will probably be a little difficult and stinky, but she will feel better. Leaving infection in there may lead to blindness or losing the eye.

    swollen eye, lethargic, laying rubber eggs

    I guess those of us that read these threads every day know it is puss, just because it happens with sinus infections. I haven’t experienced this with my chickens before, but there are plenty of experienced folks here that will tell you that pus in chickens becomes very solid and hard, like...

    I agree with Azygous to use some calcium, and the kind with vitamin D (such as Caltrate or similar) is helpful. I forgot about the rubber egg issue. I had a hen who was injured, and a few who had infectious bronchitis, that had egg issues with rubber or thin-shelled eggs.

    swollen eye, lethargic, laying rubber eggs

    First of sll, I would try to squeeze out andclean out the thickened pus from her eye socket. There is infection from a sinus infection, probably mycoplasma (MG,) or coryza if she smells bad. I would have treated with Tylan50 antibiotic from the start, but since you do not want to do that, at...
