Hen with swollen eye and corner of beak

[Scoutson]

I noticed that one of the hens eyes were swollen and watery and the corner of her beak is swollen and firm to the touch and it’s not letting her close her beak completely. Her nose isn’t runny and she isn’t coughing or sneezing so I’m not sure if she was pecked in the eye or if it’s infected. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Can you look inside her mouth for any yellow gunk?

Scoutson where are you located?
It kind of looks like a bad sting to me.

I don’t see anything, but she now has a slightly clouded slimy substance in her eye

Can you flush the eye with a few drops of saline eye wash, and apply either Terramycin eye ointment or plain Neosporin ointment or Triple Antibiotic Ointment 2-3 times a day. Is she able to eat and drink? It looks like she has been pecked and hurt.

She is eating and drinking thankfully

Can you get a picture of the inside of her beak?

I agree with flushing the eye and putting ointment in it.
