Need help something wrong with my chickens eye

[alexthefarmlady]

Ok so I have no idea what’s going on it’s hard to get a picture but I tried I’m think maybe a worm or just pus I been cleaning it and putting VET RX on it I’m scared to pull it out because it’s a worm I don’t want it to stay in there but if it’s pus I don’t mind pulling it out it was super swollen that went down in a day she’s a acting normal she’s eating drinking loving and fighting with me when I try to take care of her but she does keep it closed most of the time

Why do you think it’s parasitic? Is it possible someone pecked her there or she got poked? Sorry the picture isn’t very clear.

It does look like pus, eyeworm is a very small parasite, threadlike.
You will need to remove all the pus from the eye before the infection can be taken care of. You can get terramycin eye ointment at most TSC's and some feed stores (it is very small and may be locked up, so ask) or you can use plain neosporin in the eye twice a day. I would remove all the pus, flush the eye well with sterile saline or eye wash (veterycin makes one) and apply the ointment twice a day. It could have been injured or gotten some debris in there.

Yeah our old roo used to be a little to aggressive when he would mate with her that’s why i was thinking maybe that
