8 wk BO hen woke up with a foamy eye. Now seems sick.

[Ceebee123]

This morning when I let my flock out one of my 8 week olds had a foamy eye. I separated her and she seems to have been declining all day. She seems thinner has slept most of the day. Has not moved much, ate and drank a little. I gave her some super worms for a treat and she ate them all. I also cleaned her eye with a warm compress. Her poops seem a little soft. One was runny. She was in good health until this morning. There is crushed limestone in the bottom of the hen house and my 6 chicken flock free ranges all day on half an acre lawn. The other chickens seem fine. I added Apple cider vinegar to all the waterers today. I'm very new to chickens and have no experience with diagnosing or treating them. So I could use all the advice I can get. Thanks. I added pics of her and her runny poop.

Hi @Ceebee123 Welcome To BYC

I'm sorry to hear about your pullet.
Can you get a photo of her eye?
Have you noticed any sneezing, mucous, labored breathing or facial swelling?
Is her crop empty?
Looked inside the beak to make sure that it's clear of mucous or yellow/white spots/lesions?
Where are you located in the world?

A foamy eye can be a sign of respiratory disease. Mycoplasma, Infectious Coryza, Infectious Bronchitis and ILT are fairly common in poultry. If you have vet care, that is best.
Depending on the cause an antibiotic may treat some of her symptoms. Tylan50 can be found at most feed stores. Dosage is 0.25ml per pound of weight given orally 3 times a day for 5 days.
For the eye, flush it with saline and apply an eye ointment a couple of times a day. Most of the time you can find Terramycin at TSC as well.

The poop looks like it has a lot of urates, but that could be from her not drinking well.
With her age and quick decline, I would be inclined to treat her for Coccidiosis too. Corid can be found in the cattle section of TSC. Dosage is 1 1/2 teaspoons Corid powder or 2 teaspoons of 9.6% Corid liquid per gallon of water.
Give for 5-7 days - make sure this is the ONLY water available during that time period. Mix a fresh batch at least once a day.
I hope she starts feeling better soon.

Thanks so much for your reply. I'm in daytona Beach Florida which is in the center of the eastern coast and its been really hot and rainy lately. I forgot I also fed them some dog kibble that I softened with water the day before her decline unknowing that it could be bad for them. And my sick chick is the one that took to it the most. I forced some acv water in her this morning with a dropper and she seems slightly perkier. Shes standing with her eyes open today. No foam. But still not clear. Some redness remains. The rest of my flock seem ok still besides being hot. Today is extra hot because theres no breeze. Ive been hosing down the grass where they like to hang out to help them keep cool
