Bump behind eye?

[OneLostHen]

Now what? Yeeesh.

This pullet is always to some degree not quite right. Be it a sneeze every so often, a gurgling cough only once in 10 minutes or her eye that she always kept slightly closed.

I've treated her eye with ointment, her cough with MG meds and now her eye finally seems better so a bump develops behind it.

Any insights on what it could be?

The way she used to always keep her eye, with the 3rd eyelid visible-

How she sometimes, but certainly not always stands-

And her new bump i just noticed today-

Is it pox? It doesn't look exactly like pox to me.

It doesn’t look like fowl pox. That is a disease spread by mosquitoes in hot weather. It might be a peck wound or from scratching, but hard to know for sure. Does it feel hard or soft?

It feels soft.
I'm reluctant to open it. But the white color worries me that infection is inside.

It could have pus inside. If you clean it with disinfectant and do lance it with a sterilized needle, just don’t get it into her eye. Have someone help you hold her wrapped into a towel if you decide to drain it.
