Okay, just take a deep breath and think. You could go to a vet that probably doesn’t have much experience with chickens and charges you an arm and a leg, or you could try and figure it out by yourself ( with our help of course.) It really just depends on what you think is needed.

It looks like your bird has respiratory disease.
Where did he come from - is he new or was he with the other ones you have?

It's always best to consult a vet for testing to find out the cause of the bubbles, but a lot of times services are not available, vets don't see chickens or the cost is just too much.

I am not a vet nor expert, but the bubbly eyes along with runny noise, I would take a good guess that he has Mycoplasma. Most of the time symptoms can be treated with an antibiotic like Tylosin, Tiamulin (Denagard) or one of the "cyclines". Keep in mind that I said symptoms. Mycoplasma is a disease that makes the bird a carriers for life even if they get better. Birds that are housed with and exposed to him are considered carriers as well even if they never show symptoms.

Flush his eyes with saline a few times a day, clean out the bubbles and pus - apply an eye ointment in the eye.

Keeping your flock closed would be a very good idea.

it's probably not coryza if the nasal discharge doesn't stink, but as you said- try to search for vets that take care of chickens. I hope you either find one that'll help you and your chicken or she gets better. Keep us informed.

I purchased him from a breeder... got him when hi was around 2 and half weeks with the other hen... she seems fine but if it is the disease most likely she's going to be a carrier now :-(
