My 5 month old chicken has developed a bulgy eye. Looks to be her second eyelid (nictitating membrane) that is swollen. Haven't noticed any respiratory issues or pus around the eye. She is eating and laying as normal. Does anyone know how to help her?

It might be a cyst or tumor. Have you seen any bubbles or foam in the eye? I would try to apply some antibiotic drops or ointment into the eye a couple of times a day. It doesn’t look like the typical sinus swelling that mycoplasma typically causes. Can you see a vet?

Thank you so much for getting back to me! I have not seen any foam but I did see some very small bubbles in her eye when I checked on her today. I am looking around to see if I can find a vet but no luck yet. Do you have any antibiotic or ointment you would recommend?
