There could be debris in the eye. I recommend flushing the eye with saline solution.
Also, it could possibly be the onset of a respiratory disease, normally there would be other symptoms such as; wheezing, sneezing, head shaking, gurgling, mucus in nostrils.
 
My 7 month rooster has one bubbly eye, no swelling, no mucus. Not raspy, he makes like a high pitched cough now and then, but they all do that when eating. Little pigs. :)

His appetite and activity are good. We've just come off a spell of bitter cold and some rain.

I have VETRX, I think that's what it is. Says it an be applied to the cleft in his palate. I was initially thinking he has an irritation in there.

These are my first chickens, so I'm a little reluctant to just rush in with doing stuff. My hens have just started laying, so I also don't want any illness spreading. Gah! Suggestions?

I noticed his eye yesterday. Day before it was clear.
