Hi everyone! One of my hens has a swollen eye. The other side is completely normal. No discharge or odor. No breathing issues I notice.

One of my roosters had this several weeks ago but not as bad and eventually it got better but left his eye looking slightly swollen at all times.

Their coop stays clean. They free range on 2 acres. They get fresh water 2x a day.

I don’t ever notice them pecking each other but I don’t observe them 24/7 of course. anyone know what this is and what I should do? I have more chicks coming next month but now I’m not sure if I should add any more to the flock?

Any lesions or canker inside the beak?

If the rooster had it, it sounds like it has spread. Likely respiratory disease. Could be viral or bacterial.

General care - flush the eye with saline and apply eye ointment like Terramycin.

Depending on what you are dealing with an antibiotic like Tylosin may help treat symptoms, but eye care needs to be given twice a day at least.
