My chicken, Jeremy, just got a swollen eye today.

No other symptoms, such as ones common in respiratory diseases.
She has been trying to go to sleep, though it's 10 in the morning.
We can only have organic chemicals inside local stores (by law), and I don't know if we can get them online in time.
It is possible she has been pecked by the others, but they usually stay away from each other. Any ideas on treatment or what caused it?
 
Look into the eye, opening it gently with your fingers to see if there are bubbles, gunk or any injuries to the eye. Pictures can help if you have help. The swelling is in the place that respiratory sinus infection can show up, but the eye may also have been pecked or injured. Is there any sneezing, nasal drainage, gasping, or noisy breathing? If it is a respiratory disease it could be MG, but if you see pus and smell a bad odor, it could be coryza or an infected eye.

Nasal drainage from the left nostril and tiny amount of blood inside her eye.

And no respiratory symptoms.
Nasal drainage is a respiratory symptom sadly.
A small amount of blood, maybe its a peck injury. I might try a warm compress, sometimes that helps with swelling. Herbs such a Rosemary, Lavender, Ginger, Turmeric, and Cardamom all have anti-inflammatory properties.
I'm pretty sure you can't overdose them if you decide to give it a try. BTW, Turmeric's benefits are increased greatly when fed along with black pepper. Black Pepper contains a compound that increases the absorption of Turmeric.
