Help, Eye Closed shut with bloody Discharge. Not sure if its Diseases or Injure

[maxximo]

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)

Amerucana, 4month old, she is the heaviest in the flock.

2) What is the behavior, exactly.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms?

She is usually hyper, but today after I let them play in the garden for an hour, I noticed her eye closed shut, usually she never lets me carry her, but today she let me carry her and she seemed to have no energy.

4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms?

no

5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma.

Bloody discharge from the closed eye

6) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation.

I have a Polish rooster, but he is half her size and usually is scared from her

7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all.

medicated feed and table scraps and drinking normally

8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc.

everything normal there

9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far?

nothing yet, no clue

10 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet?
11) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
12) Describe the housing/bedding in use
coop in the back yard, pine shaving bedding and straw hay in the run.





Any clue if this is a symptom of a disease or an injury from fighting.

Update

She is acting very weird, she is been sitting inside the coop in one of the nest boxes. She is usually very active. Still can't figure out what happened. She seemes dramatized and not happy. Eyes Still shut and might be swollen

When I dicovred the eye, she was outside playing like normal, this is why I am leaning toward that this is an injury.

Rest is a good healing remedy. Make sure she gets lots of it. Plenty of water and food too. You might want to see about giving vitamins to help with stress. Birds stress very easily. If its an injury, rest is the best thing for her. Keep a close eye on her, watch her breathing and watch her poop. These things can be indicators of something more serious.

Can you wash the eye out with normal saline?

 

[Reurra]

You might be able tog et some eye wash at the store. I wonder if Visine would be ok on a chicken eye?

Update
Well, so I isolated her in the garage and applied some triple-anibiodic on the eye. But the strangest thing happend. I was out in the backyard feeding the other chickens, when I heard a crow. I originally thought "our neighbors got a rooster too!!" . But then it hit, it's coming out of the garage. So she.... Turned out to be a heeee :S . In the past whenever we heard crowing we blamed our polish roo. But now it is confirmed the we have two Roos in the flock . Thank god our neighboors are so nice and have not complained about it.

He is doing a bit better, back to HIMself againe and not let me carry HIM. Eye still swollen but better then yesterday. I think HE'll make a full recovery within a couble of days. Really disapointed thou, I was hopping for blue/green eggs

Here is what I did for him so far
-wipe the eye with a warm/wet cloth
-applied some triple antibiotic (neosporin works)
-gave him a healthy diet ( diced onion, yougert, garlic, rice mix)
-Isolate him and gave him sometime to rest and recover
