Ok so i have 20 or so chickens, I recently brought some silikies and about 3-5 days later one of the silkies had a slightly swollen eye.(just one) and was some what with drawn and laying around. over the next couple days I have found 3 others with the same symptoms. They have no other respiratory symptoms and it is not affecting both eyes just one. and 2 of the birds are shy and reserved and the other two ARE somewhat normal. i have been using ophthalmic erythromycin there has been a little yellow drainage and i have to was the eye to open it and put meds in? please give me some ideas as i am new to my love of chickens.... thanks Nick all info helpful
