She started off exactly like that. I only treated her and she is doing great no signs of reswelling or sickness since. And no, no other chicken ever showed any symptoms at all.
I did give her 1/2cc once a day. I was told to do it for 5-7days so I did it for 6 days. Im not sure if the ointment was helping as I was doing it at the same time so I just continued to do both just in case. Good luck with your chicken. Let me know how it goes.
Just and Update
My chicken Tori is doing much better. she had her 4th dose of Tylan today and also the Vetericyn just once a day just incase. Here is her new pic from tonight
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HELP!!!
Her eye looks slightly better today Im so glad I started her on meds. I give Tylan once a day correct? And should I still keep applying the Vetericyn gel to her eye or skip that now that she is on Tylan?
SO today I flushed her eye with just some spring water and im not sure if I was seeing things but it looked bubbley in the inner corner. So I applied the Vetericyn gel to her eye and ran back out to TSC again to get the Tylan 50. I decided to give it to her orally(I gave her 1/2cc). I wasnt sure...

Thank You I will keep an eye on her and watch for new symptoms and I will look into that medication. Would the terrimycin eye ointment be as effective as tylan or are they for 2 different things. Ive never had a sick chicken so Im new to all the poultry meds and such. Also is vetrx for eye...
Thanks for replying. I dont think its a pecking injury only because im pretty sure she is top of the pecking order. I suppose it could be an injury from free ranging they were in the woods a little bit the other day maybe a stick poked her eye. Other than that I dont know what to look for to...
So I called around to all the feed stores in trown yesterday and not much luck. One store carried nothing and said to put neosporin on her eye. Blue seal only had Vetericyn which they said is for use on all animals and then I called TSC who didnt have anything in stock either except Vetericyn...
When tending to my girls yesterday I noticed one of them has just one swollen eyelid and the red flesh around her eye has puffed up also. She seems that she is eatting drinking and can see some what out of that eye But the puffiness was a little worse this morn and she keeps shaking her head( I...
