Buff Orpington with foaming eyes

[TheLittlechickens]

Hi , I have a buff Orpington who is about 2-3 years old and living with 3 other chickens. She has foaming eyes that we have cleaned with water and the bubbles keep coming back !

This has been happening for a number of weeks now and no amount of cleaning has helped . I have researched how to treat this but have always found dead ends . She lives outside in a coop with 3 other chickens with shavings , eats And drinks normally , is quite timid ( although all my chickens are ) and she can sound like she isn’t wheezing at times .

Does anyone know how to treat this or what it could be ??

Thanks x

Welcome to BYC. It could be something going on with her eye, such as something irritating it, but that is a sign of mycoplasma (MG,) a respiratory disease. You might want to try Terramycin eye ointment twice a day, or consider treating with Tylan 50. I had a hen once who had foam in both eyes on very cold morning, then would clear up during the day. She had no other signs of a respiratory disease. So I thought it may have been a tear duct problem. Here is some reading:
