Can you post a picture of the eye? How long has this been going on? Does she have any sneezing or noisy breathing, or gasping? Is there any sign of a peck wound to the eye? A few respiratory disease, such as MG or coryza, can cause a swollen eye, conjunctivitis, bubbles, or pus in the eye from a sinus infection. E.coli or getting something stuck in the eye can also do this. Does the hen smell bad around the face? Most respiratory diseases will affect a flock for life. Antibiotics can sometimes treat symptoms of MG and coryza, but they do not cure the disease.

The tetracycline would be more helpful for a respiratory disease. You may use plain Nesoporin or Triple Antibiotic Ointment in the eye 2-3 times a day. If there is any pus in the eye, it needs to be removed. I would try to get Tylan soluble powder from a vet if you can, since respiratory diseases (if that is what has caused the eye problem,) may well affect the chicks.

Tylan is in stock here right now:
https://www.jedds.com/shop/tylan-soluble-100-g/It is very hard to get these days, and they run out often. You can try the tetracycline if you like. Denagard is another that can be used for MG, if you need something in the future.
