Pullet with extremely swollen eye! Help needed!

You can't sell this bird.
That is just wrong.
Cull it.

So if she recovers it would be unwise to keep her in my flock, correct?

I would not sell it either unless it tested negative for the respiratory diseases.

It's not fair to sell birds that could possible be carrying a lifetime disease.

Correct, this why I asked if you understood chicken diseases.
UNLESS you already have disease in your flock and don't mind dealing with sick birds, but you too will then need to keep a closed flock.

I already have to keep a closed flock. My new flock has ILT most likely.

Get the boss lady to have some testing done.

@dawg53, can you chime in here on respiratory diseases?

 

[Brahma Chicken5000]

I will do my best.

Then I see no problem with you wanting to take this bird home.

Call your state lab and ask about having birds tested.
