This is burrito her eyelid seems to be swollen and it's like bubbling. This has been happening since yesterday. This seems to be all that's wrong but I'm not sure she does seem a bit more closed off today does anyone know what's wrong ?

Eye bubbles or foam and a swollen eyelid can be a sign of a respiratory disease called MG or mycoplasma gallisepticum. Testing would need to be done to confirm that. Do you see any signs that she was pecked in the eye? Have you added any new birds recently? Tylosin powder for the water can help treat symptoms, but MG is chronic and symptoms can come back later. I would close your flock to birds coming in or going out, since your flock may now be positive for MG, even if no others show symptoms. Here is where to find Tylosin if you cannot get it from your vet:

MG can be common in some backyard flocks and in wild birds. Here is some reading about it:
