Frothy eye

[KingD]

Any time.
Sorry I couldn't be of any real help

Yes, I would agree with @KingB that it could possibly be mycoplasma gallisepticum or MG. It is fairly common in some flocks. It is a lifelong disease and can make survivors carriers. Symptoms may get better with an oral antibiotic such as Tylosin, doxycycline, oxytetracycline, or Denagard. I would close the flock to new birds since the others may also be carriers. Here is where to get antibiotics:

Thank you so much for responding! So he probably won’t die? Also Can I put him back in the coop with the other chickens after I have given him antibiotics?

If it is MG, the expectation is that the other chickens would also get the disease. But they could already have it if he has it.

What should I do? Does he have to live in isolation forever?

Also is he going to die

Well step 1 is treating him with antibiotics and keeping an eye on your other birds for signs of sickness. And we can figure out step 2 later.

Is he eating and drinking well? Is the frothy eye the only symptom?

Having symptoms of MG is not a death sentence. Most people with a chronic respiratory disease would close their flocks—no birds in, no birds out. You can try treating the bird with symptoms with one of the antibiotics. She may get better, and she might never get symptoms again. But she might get sick again during a time of stress. MG is common in some backyard flocks.

He is eating and drinking normally and his poop is fine as well
