Watery eye

[divachick20]

Not sure what is wrong, I noticed about a week ago my pullets eye is watery looking and she keeps it closed sometime but acts normal. This morning when I went to let her out her eye was crusted shut. She has no other symptoms. Any advice is welcome!!!

It could be a sign of a respiratory disease, but if she is acting normal otherwise, I would suspect an eye infection instead. I believe that chicken eye infections can be treated with Terramycin ointment/another type of eye antibiotic ointment. Apply the ointment to the eye once or twice a day, and it should resolve itself. If eye ointment doesn't work, I would get Tylan50 injectable or the water soluble version of Terramycin and start her on those.
