I have an easter egger hen that may be sick. Yesterday, it sounded like she screamed, but then I realised she was sneezing. I only heard her do this a few times, but today I noticed her right eye has bubbles on it and looks kind of matted under her eye. I just separated her from the others and put her in an iso crate in the basement. Shes a bit of a panicker so i dont want to keep her separated for long. Does anyone know what she has going on or what i can to do treat and prevent others from getting if its contagious.
Thanks!
 
The vet rx may help relieve her symptoms slihtly in the mean time to help her feel more at ease.

can you take her to a vet?

any others showing symptoms?
have you made any changes recently? bedding, feed, etc

can you look in her mouth and see if anything is caught in there?
 
It sounds like a respiratory infection, maybe mycoplasma (MG) which can cause the eye bubbles. Sneezing can also be a sign of infectious bronchitis. I would give her Tylan 50 injectable (available in the cattle medicines at your feed store,) and give her 1 ml 2-3 times daily for 5 days. The others have already been exposed probably from the same source she has, so I would get her back into the flock as soon as possible. She might chill, so you can keep her warmfor a day or two. Keep her eye cleaned with saline. If it gets gunky, you can apply some Terramycin eye ointment twice a day.
 
Would it be okay to treat the water with Tylan powder for the flock? I think I heard another one sneezing. I have 11 hens total. Only 2 are laying right now.

I treated her water (she's separated right now) . I applied Terramycin ointment to her eye.
I heard another girl sneezing so I decided just to treat the whole flocks water with Tylan powder. Only 2 girls out of the 11 are laying right now.
