    Hen with one eye swollen shut, please help

    So today I let my chickens out of the coop as usual when I noticed my one hen was acting a bit off and then I noticed her eye. I've never had this happen before so I'm not quite sure what to do.

    Sick hen. Mucus in mouth and partially swollen face

    One of my hens has some sort of slime or mucus like discharge in her mouth. She's also keeping her left eye closed, and it seems like her head, or the area around her eye, is a little swollen. I don't think she can open her left eye. I just noticed this tonight. What can I do?

    Help! Hen with Eye Swollen Shut

    Today I noticed my hen's left eye was completely swollen shut--out of nowhere (I check on them periodically throughout the day).

    Brahma chick is ill. Suggestions?

    Hello. We bought 3 hens (a Brahma and 2 Cinnamons) from a man here in NW Missouri on Wednesday. He had just purchased them the same week at a Missouri auction, and the Brahmas had come from an overcrowded situation so they had no feathers on their backs. (I noticed a Cinnamon with one eye...
