Not sure what's up with this little girl's eye. I've had dry pox run through the flock pretty recently; some birds are still a little scabby but overall flock health looked fine. I noticed about a week or so ago that the skin around her left eye looked different than her right. At the time I chalked it up to mottled skin from mixed breeds.

Today, however, I noticed it's more puffy and bubbly. Her overall attitude is still energetic and spunky; she screamed the entire time I tried to get photos.

Is this likely the dry pox just affecting her left eye? Included right eye, that has developed a welt, for comparison.

I would treat her for mycoplasma (MG,) which can cause swelling and a foamy eye. First, rinse the eye with saline or eye wash, and apply a small dab of either Terramycin or plain Neosporin ointment twice a day into the eye. Tylosin powder can be added to her water 1 tsp per gallon of water for 5 days. You can get Tylosin powder here with free shipping:

Thank you!
I have some saline spray that I'll use, gently, and Neosporin. Hopefully that clears it up.
