Silkie weeping/ gunky eye

[Alilinn]

My 5/6 month old silkie has been struggling with this goopy eye since I brought her home. I feel like I’ve tried everything. I’ve done terramycin several times, I tried Neosporin (non medicated) all my birds went through a preventative round of corid. I clean her up all the time and I don’t know what else to do?
She has no other symptoms. And none of my other 23 chickens show any signs of illness.

I realize she looks rough in this. It was before her bath and it’s been a VERY rainy month here.

The photos were taken about 2 weeks apart. Sometimes it seems to get better but it’s never fully gone away.

Do your feed stores sell Tyan 50 or Tylan 200?

I’m not sure, I can check with them. If not can order it? That’s an antibiotic right? Should I separate her and only give her the antibiotic?

It looks like it requires a vet prescription in all 50 states now.

Yes I’ll order it! Do you think it’s a respiratory infection?

It probably is some sort of infection. Are any of the others sick?

No, not any of them! And she doesn’t show any other symptoms
