Hi! I noticed one of my Easter eggers eye is swollen. I can’t tell if she got injured or if she has an infection or both. She’s acting normal, eating and drinking. I have zero idea how to treat and where to start.

We do not have a chicken vet nearby so that is not an option, I will need home remedies.

Thank you!

Same problem with my chicken! She got better tho, is is almost like somethings sticking the eye together, so the eyelis are sticking to each other?
 
There appears to be an injury on the left side of her eye in the second photo. It's possible she mightve been pecked by another bird, causing the swelling and watering of the eye.
Flush her eye with saline solution, gently pat dry with tissue. Then apply plain Neosporin to the left corner on the outside of her eye, then a small amount of Neosporin in her eye. Repeat only Neosporin treatment once a day until healed.
