Hi all,
This morning I noticed my roosters eye wasnt looking right. Upon further inspection I can not see any worms or injury. I see it is very swollen and warm to the touch. None of my others have this. They are all eating and drinking ok. He lives outside 24/7 so he could have gotten into anything. He is usually pretty docile around others. I can not see injury anywhere on his head, eye, or body. I have never had any eye issues with my babies before so any tips on how to treat is eternally greatful. I just want him to feel better it is obviously painful his other eye is healthy. He is about 3 months old. At night he and his 'brother' sleep on a shelf in my back yard. They for rage during the day in my back yard or in the neighborhood. I feed them scratch and cracked for. They also get many fruits, veggies, and scrambled eggs.

Looks like conjunctivitis.
Hard to know what's causing it, but general care is to rinse the eye out with saline, then apply an eye ointment like Terramycin. Do this 2-3 times a day for a few days and report back.
 
Thank you! I gave him baytril and terramycin. He is doing so great and on additional vitamins after all the antibiotics. This is him now ❤️
