I don't know what caused this, she's normal in every other way. I noticed when she lays down, she tucks her head into her wing though- that's different behavior. Any suggestions? Thank you!!

First I would look around her eye for a mark that could be a sting or peck. Then look for bubbles in her eye and any drainage from her nostrils or mucus from her beak. That could be from a respiratory infection/disease such as mycoplasma (MG.) Tylosin can be given in her water to treat that. Dosage is 1 tsp per gallon of water, and is available from jedds.com and here:

Hi, thank you for your tips! I appreciate it! I isolated her and when the sun went down swiped coconut oil across her eye. I left her in a shaded brooder box for 2 days and swiped that across her eye those 2 nights and it was gone the next day so I let her out again. I'm not sure what really happened but I was certainly glad to see her back to normal again:)
Thank you!!
