The only thing I could even venture to guess would be either a genetic defect or past injury. Possibly related to either the muscle or blood pressure, but you would have to take him to a vet to find out for sure.

I would think your biggest risks maybe that it could become easily infected from irritation or something getting stuck in the eye socket, or a slimmer chance that if it does that to often the muscles may weaken to the piont the eye dislodges from the socket.

Basically the eyeball it's self can't enlarge randomly but it can appear to enlarge if an internal cuase is pushing it outward. Judging by your limited information it doesn't sound infected currently, though I would watch for signs of discharge or irritation just in case. I would guess that an internal irritation (like an infect or something lodged in the eye) could cuase similar symptoms but I would expect them to be more continuous not sporadic and mos likely with discharge from the eye or the chicken being obviously irritated.

Unless you are able (willing) to take your boy to the vet your best approach right now may be just a "wait and watch" so long as no other symptoms or issues arise it doesn't sound like there is much else to do at the moment.

I hope someone else can give you more advice.

Can you clarify if the eye is getting bigger or the area around the eye gets bigger? Does he have any signs of a respiratory sinus disease, such as sneeze, cough, drainage or mucus from the nostrils, or wheezing?

Or does the pupil (black part in the center) get bigger? Uneven pupil dilation is a totally different symptom that could indicate a neurological (brain) issue.

he sneeze 2 to 4 times in a day or sometimes once in two days but not very often


and i meant that the area around the eyes seems to be streached
