URGENT Sick Chicken

[CMash]

About a week ago my chickens Eye was swollen Shut. I washed it out with warm water and started to apply a cream that I got from the feed store. I isolated the chicken and it’s own Area.The poor bird continue to have swelling of the eye and some drainage in the nostril. Today with help ,We remove this jelly like sack, from the chickens eye,a gentle squeeze It kind of just popped out. The chicken is eating and seems to be drinking water are you still closed shut . Please any suggestions would be helpful. Is this the highly contagious Cortzyl?

Did you say you removed a jelly like sac? Was that this birds eyeball?

@CMash A dead giveaway for Coryza is a foul odor around the head area, take a whiff and you'll know. Also, other birds would be showing symptoms as well. Are any birds sneezing, wheezing, gurgling, shaking heads, runny nostrils, swollen face?

No I’m not seeing any other bird showing any symptoms as of yet. In fact the chicken that has this was not sneezing or wheezing or any of that either just this swollen head on one side and a bit of a discharge from the nasal I believe you’re right about the diagnosis. However I am not seeing other six chickens yet .
I also did not notice a foul odor. But the symptoms are consistent with Coyza.

I suspect possibly Mycoplasma Gallisepticum (MG). Like I mentioned, with Coryza there's a foul odor around the head area that would gag you, not so with MG and the same symptoms as Coryza, but without the foul odor.

Respiratory infection. Most common infectious diseases to cause respiratory infection symptoms are Mycoplasma Gallisepticum (MG or also known as Chronic Respiratory Disease), Coryza, or even Infectious Laryngotracheitis (ILV). I’ll tell you the unfortunate truth about respiratory infections in chickens- if you don’t believe me, look it up for yourself. Unfortunately, unlike us humans, antibiotics will never cure the disease of affected or exposed birds. All your infected birds will remain carriers for life, spreading the diseases to non-infected birds through feces. If you introduce new birds to your existing flock, the newbies will become infected. If you hatch eggs, MG passes through eggs into the chick, if it survives. You must maintain a closed flock. No birds out, no new birds in. Do not sell nor give away eggs to be hatched. Your other option is to cull your entire flock and disinfect everything. Your infected bird(s) will remain immune-comprimised for life. It’ll resurface within times of stress.
