I have a Barred rock in the house now with a swollen eye.Giving her tylan 50 1 cc a day and eye meds from the vet. I hope all goes well for you. I would call your vet asap. Warm cloth seems to help.

You may have a serious respiratory disease going on. It also sounds like your chicken might have wry neck which can be a symptom in certain respiratory diseases such as Newcastles disease and early swollen head syndrome. Here is a list of diseases and symptoms--look at the two I mentioned and see if it fits. Newcastles is very rare, and usually occurs in countries outside of the US. You could give a few more details which may help us--age, pictures, other symptoms, etc.
