Please help! Dying chicken fast onset

If she drinks anything, offer electrolytes; I've even offered Gatoraide to help with dehydration. Best wishes.

Thank you @4 Georgia Hens and @Maddison

She seems much better this morning. Stood up pn her own, is looking around with her good eye, color seems a bit better on her good side, bad side looks terrible. She took water on her own when I dipped her beak. Seems very much like an injury. I'll post more pics when the kid goes to school. I'm going to take her to work and stick her box under my desk.
My mind is jumping to the next step..... can i keep both rosie and marigold? It doesn't seem so.
Also i need to go check on the other two this a.m. to see if they're acting healthy, in case it is sickness. (Which now seems doubtful.)

Could have been a spider bite, just guessing though. I'm glad she's improving. Keep up the good work!

If it is turning green then that is a good sign in my opinion as bruising is green in chickens. That blue colour is/was scary!!
I think you may well be right that this is an injury and you may even find that her eye has been pecked out. She has certainly sustained significant trauma if that is bruising and associated swelling. I think the best you can do is keep her warm and comfortable and hydrated and gently bath that side of her face with cooled boiled water or tea is quite beneficial for eyes and apply an antibiotic eye ointment.

I very much appreciate all of your input. It's been very helpful and i feel the love.
Husband is off getting the ointment from feed store. I scrambled her an egg to try in a while.
This is her a little bit ago.

@Wyorp Rock
Maybe you have input?

 

[yellowbee0110]

Ointment worked to easily open the eye. It still exists. She ate a very tiny bit of egg and drank more water. She's packed up and ready to go with me today!

 

[rebrascora]

That's good news. Keep giving her water/electrolytes as often as you can and update us later please.

I agree, it looks like she might have some bruising.
Were you able to flush the eye with saline and remove the crust?

Where is she going with you today? To the office?
A trip out and about may be stressful for her, imho, unless it's to a vet. She may do better being placed in her box so she can rest, eat and drink.
