Pullet with one eye swollen lifting legs

[katiesbella]

My 4 month old Golden Comet pullet has her left eye swollen (really the skin above the eye but it makes the eye look like it’s toward the back of the socket). Other symptoms are: when she walks she lifts her legs up and touches her body. When she eats or tries to, she opens and closes her beak as if chewing. This started yesterday but I didn’t get a good look until today. No others have these symptoms and there is no apparent injury or bite. I don’t have a chicken vet- this is cattle/horse country. Thanks!

Can you take pictures of her eye?

Can you please post some photos - some of her, her eye, poop and inside of beak?
What are you feeding?
Do you provide grit?

Check her crop first thing in the morning before she's had anything to eat/drink - the crop should be empty. If it's not then let us know. https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/

Any injury or something stuck on her feet that would cause her to lift the legs?

Nothing stuck on her feet. I’ll try to get pics. Thanks.

I’m feeding non-medicated grower. She also has access to layer pellets.
