I have a hen who I've noticed looks like she has a possible swollen upper eyelid on both eyes. I'll be honest I haven't noticed it before but don't know if I just haven't noticed it or if it's new. She's eating, laying, and drinking fine. She doesn't act differently at all I've been letting them free range lately but other then that no change in routine. No other chickens have it and other then the eye lids I haven't noticed anything odd. It doesn't seem to bug her if I touch them but just wanted to ask around. Both eyes look the same neither is more or less swollen from what I can tell. I've noticed it for about 2 weeks without any increase in size

It looks like she has some small peck wounds on her comb and earlobe. Maybe she was pecked around the eyes, but it doesn’t look too serious. Is it summer or winter where you are located? Do her pupils and eye color look the same?
 
It's spring but the weather has been crazy it's been snowing and 70 degrees this week. Her eye color is a light brown and her pupil is black but she has always had dark brown spots in her eye, she turned two last week and is a Cochin if either of those matter. I was looking through pictures and in the beginning of January her eyelids looked very similar.
 
Ok thank you! She's definitely one of my bottom hens so she definitely gets picked on her feathers are a mess thanks to her being the roosters favorite and the hens least favorite :(
