Don't panic, this could be a very simple thing.

I have had chickens ducks and guineas get a foamy eye from a simple scratch to the eyeball, they healed up in a few days, i would look real close and see if this may be the case.

It only takes a tiny scratch to cause foamy eye.

I only use antibotics when i am sure what is wrong with them, sometimes meds cause more problems if you are treating the wrong thing.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Hey you could be on to something because just before i say the foamy eye he was wrestling with the others for bread and he was floping around on the ground fighting for bread and there is hay on the ground i could of scratched his eye on hay thanks and i will keep you freindly folks updated........

I was a little taken a-back when I heard that - but then I remembered our dog Molly.
Now she was Old English x Wolfhound and would eat and drink anything. One of her favourites if she could get her nose into it was the mop bucket which was full of Bleach water. When our Molly eventually died she was 16 yrs old and had fought Cancer twice. - We sware it was the bleach that kept her alive and from what I just read it probably was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oesdog - Personally I would try anything rather than kill all my birds!!!!!!

vet told me 2 cups bleach to 1 gal. water and then add in a 1 gal. water bucket 1 oz of the mix and water all for at least 24 hours.

It's a very dilute bleach solution - probably to reduce transmission of an infectious agent through the shared waterers. Like putting Oxine is the waterers, which some people do all of the time.​

I did ask the vet yesterday about the oxine instead of bleach. She said no to use the bleach first to get it under controll and then I can go back to my oxine. Im glad someone else here does not think im a nut with the bleach!

I tend to be a worry wart when it comes to the chickens.... so clear this up for me..... IF her flock has CRD will they all die from it or just live their lives getting congested when it is cold outside? Is it fatal? If she has to cull the sick ones are they ok for FREEZER Camp??

O my gawd i went out to the coop this morning and well.....................All looked better but the sneezing and coughing and then i saw it one of my buff orpington hens had bubbles in the corner of her eye o gawd i havent checked the others what do i do do i just cull them all and start over if so if i was to put new birds in there would the old birds poo still carry the desies and infect the new birds in there? PLEASE HELP WHAT DO I DO.........

I have the same thing! Only she doesn't sneeze .. that might just be a cold. But with mine, I just try and clean it out every day. ITs looking better, but she is a Japaneese bantam mixed.
