Swollen eye

[lg2006]

Hi Guys,
I’ve got a sick chicken this happened in the last 24-48 hours. It’s been raining a ton here so I wasn’t outside with them as much as usual. Today I saw Cinderella looking shabby and being too docile, almost seemed dizzy when walking. Upon further inspection I see her eyes are terrible. One is very swollen and looks puss filled and one is bubbling and her nose is draining as well. She is still eating , foraging etc. laid an egg yesterday. I have now separated her from the flock although I
it’s probably too late for that. Any ideas on what this is or how to treat her? I had a Hen die last month and the necropsy didn't have a really answer but it was a swollen brain. Hoping we don't have a nasty contagious situation over here.
- Also additional information is that she has been laying these weird eggs that have a sandpaper almost crystalized top for a while, and she has had a dirty vent. I have cleaned her and wormed her and tried everything to make sure she is healthy but I think something has finally caught up with her.

I have a flock of 14 ( 4 of which are about 10 weeks old) and she is one of my originals which I think ( in retrospect) I purchased from a bad farmer b.c most of those chickens have died from random illnesses.
Any feedback or help would be appreciated! Pictures Attached.

Greetings lg2006,

Your girl is suffering from a severe upper respiratory infection.

Keep her separated from the flock. If the discharge has a smell, it could be Infectious Coryza, but most likely Chronic Respiratory Disease (mycoplasma gallisepticum)

Treat with antibiotics like tylosin (Tylan 50), or erythromycin. Keep her out of drafts in a warm 65-70 degree area. Warm compresses on the eyes to relieve the pressure on the sinuses. A humidifier is also good. A dab of VetRx around the eyes, nostrils and under the wings, will also help with sinus pressure. After recovery, birds are carriers, and relapse is common.

Clean the coop and disinfect, after illness has passed.


These are my thoughts on your chicken's illness. I hope they are helpful.
