Puffy eyes?

Anyone know what this could be? Have this issue with this chicken and a Easter egger.

Is the other side of her face swollen also? Can you get a close up of the eye? Is the eye itself normal looking? Any discharge, bubbles in the eye, discharge from the beak or nares, coughing sneezing or wheezing? Any pus in the eye? If you have two that have swollen faces like this then you may have a respiratory disease. Mycoplasma gallisepticum is fairly common, there are others.

Ok, so I also just saw that they have slightly crusty butts. If it is a respiratory disease, what medicine would you recommend for them? Is there a medicine that covers a majority of the respiratory diseases?

Most of the time it's Tylosin or Tylan. You can get Tylosin here (it's sold out currently): https://jedds.com/products/tylosin-powder

Some of the respiratory illnesses are chronic. The medications will treat the symptoms but are not a cure. It's often referred to generically as CRD - chronic respiratory disease. The birds are carriers, and symptoms can recur during times of stress. It's also very contagious, so all your birds would be considered exposed and carriers. If you have a respiratory disease (testing can be done by a vet, or in the case of a death, testing can be done at necropsy) it's generally recommended that you have a closed flock, no birds sold or given away as they can take it to the new flock, birds you bring in will be exposed like the others. Depending on the actual disease sometimes recommendations are to cull the flock, wait a period of time, and start over with new healthy birds. Personal decision, many can't bear the idea of culling them all so they just deal with it and treat when needed.
