Howdy, :frow and Welcome to Backyard Chickens.

Happy :ya to have you here with us. Enjoy your time here at BYC!

Sorry to hear about your hen, it looks as though she has MG or Mycoplasma gallisepticum, it is contagious, so she should be separated from the flock.

Thanks for joining our community! :celebrate
 
Welcome to BYC.
I suspect your hen got pecked in or around her eye causing the swelling since there are no other signs of a respiratory disease including Mycoplasma Gallisepticum (MG.)
Wrap your bird in a towel to immobilize her. Use a sewing needle sanitized with alcohol. Then stick the needle in the swollen "white" area in the corner of her eye, and gently squeeze the liquid out.
Then apply a small dab of Terramycin eye ointment or regular Neosporin in her eye in order to heal and prevent infection. Then just observe her for a few days. Done.
