Is this chicken’s eye okay?

[SunnySideUp91]

I noticed one of my chicken’s eyes looked off today. It is a cream legbar and only on one eye. I have 5 other chickens and all of the other eyes look okay and I didn’t see anything out of the ordinary on any of them other than this. I attached photos of the concerning eye and the other eye for comparison.

The eye center looks fine. The flesh/skin around looks slightly puffed.
I was looking up close to see if there were any Eye mites. Did not see any.
That can be a slight infection cause by scratching herself.
Yes,, keep watching if it heals, or worsens
Lets see what others think.

Like I said,, watch it,, and see what happens. It does not look like anything urgent needed at moment.

Looks like another chicken has been pecking her. This often happens on the roost when they are settling down for the night, but it can also happen if there is not enough space or feeding stations in the coop. I agree with @cavemanrich , it doesn't look serious yet, but keep an eye on her (no pun intended!).
