Woke up this morning and found this with her eyes stuck shut and leaking fluid. Anyone have an idea what happened and how I can heal her?

What does the inside of her beak look like?

She has a lesion on the left side of her beak, have you seen that on any of your other chickens?

General care would be to flush/clean the eyes with saline, remove pus and bubbles, then apply an eye ointment like Terramycin.

The bubbles in the eyes could be an indication that you are dealing with respiratory disease. The lesion on the beak makes me think Fowl Pox. It would be good to examine the inside of the beak and get some photos if possible.

None of my other chickens have lesions or leaky eyes. Iʻll keep an eye out though.

Thanks for general care tips! Will do that right now and try to get some photos of inside of beak.
