Hi! I have a hen who gets watery, swollen eyes every spring and fall. I looked on google and couldn’t find anything for treating it. She doesn’t have mites or any other thing like that that could cause her eyes to swell. She is a health bird but her eyes swell. I sure it’s a pollen allergy of some sort but does anyone know of a treatment or have a similar experience? It has been happening for 3 years now. It doesn’t seem to bother her much but it looks uncomfortable. Anyone have advance?

Since it's reoccurring seasonally, she may have respiratory disease, but it's possible that pollen or something in the environment is affecting her.
It's good that she doesn't seem that bothered by it, you can try rinsing her eyes with saline daily to see if that makes a difference.
