Broody Hen With Foamy Eye

[ldrchickens]

Hey guys. I am very sad a sick feeling to today from what I have found in my coop today. One of my hens joined the broody bus a few days ago and I went to check on them today and noticed she has a foamy eye. She is acting perfectly normal. No heavy breathing, wheezing, rattling sound, drainage, swelling, or anything showing signs of illness. From all of my research this points to one thing: MG. I do plan on getting them tested to confirm but is there by any teeny tiney chance or grace of god it could be anything else? TIA.

Is her eye droopy

No her eyes look perfectly normal. Not watery cloudy or droopy

No foam now. Either she wiped it off or something

Has there been moldy feed around at all

With the straw around, she might have gotten poked in the eye. You can use some Terramycin eye ointment, Vetericyn, or just some saline eye wash to the eye twice a day, and see if it comes back.

Has there been moldy feed around at all

We recently had some stormy weather so i had their feeder in the coop and it got on the wet floor and the floor got a little moldy. I cleaned it up asap but it took a couple days to dry and get rid of completely. Could that be causing it?
