HELP!!! Swollen chicken eye about to burst?

Sorry for your loss. It would have been good to have had the state vet lab in Reynoldsburg near Columbus do a necropsy. They could have told you if this was infection or tumor.

Looking at that picture, it seems like his immune system was fighting against it hard.... is it hard? or soft? It looks like it tried to make a hardened case and seal up around whatever the aggressor was... poor thing. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, that is a hard thing to do.

Looking at the video, his eye looks healthy, but the tissue around the eye and eyelid seem to be the problem for sure... or, is his eyeball just as bad? Is his eyeball cloudy or red? or is it just the tissue around the eye?
another thing that crosses my mind as well, is if it was just blood that came out when lanced... I'm almost inclined to think

I would say it was firm but still squishy. Kind of like a hallow rubber band. I was surprised when I saw it. What you just said was exactly what I said when it came out. I believe something got in through his eye and his body incased it to protect itself.

So sorry to hear this. Can't say that I know what it is, but even benign things can cause problems... I'm glad it does not appear to be a transmissible illness.
