Injury or disease: two chickens with swollen watery eyes?

[InsaneBreeder]

I looked at two of my EE's today while they were free-ranging, and I noticed that each had one very watery eye with swelling above it.
Is it an injury or a disease? And if it a disease, which one? They are acting normal, and I have them in quarantine.

Anyone? I really need to know what this is.

Umm.. Maybe eye worms?

I don't know for sure though. I haven't had any with it, just saw pictures a few days ago and it looks similar.

Hope I helped! Or at least ruled out something.

That's what I've been looking at pictures of. Can it appear overnight? Because this appeared overnight. Do you know if eyeworms are fatal?

Hi did you ever resolve this problem with your chickens as my chickens are now presenting with a very similar looking problem. Thank you in advance for your advice. Kind Regards Noodlerose

Do you have a good vet over there? it could be a number of things including allergies or as other's are saying worms. if it is worms they will start to weaken. get a good worm med, or as we used to do chewing tobacco, don't give them very much just a very very small pinch. its better to give them to little than to much and repeat over a number of days. no more than they can pick in one peck.
