Watery eyes....

I'm glad that your friend is helping you. I hope if they have chickens of their own, they are taking bio-security measures so they don't spread whatever your cockerel has to their own flock.

Even if housed separately - respiratory illnesses can be easily spread on clothes/shoes, by shared equipment, dust/dander, etc.

I'm sorry you are facing this. Sadly, many people do experience dealing with disease in their flocks. Sometimes culling a sick bird is needed in order to help slow the spread of disease to other chickens in the flock.

Hi guys this little buddy is pulling through I'm so so happy for him!!!! His still recovering im still not sure on what happend to him... his eye is still a little swollen but I think it will take a little time the infection is clearing up well n his eyes isnt as foamy x

Nice:yesss:! Sinuses still swollen but i believe hes getting better! It was/is probably a respiratory disease. One of coryza's symptoms is stinky nasal discharge (sorry, i don't remember if your boy had this as i was posting at two threads about respiratory disease).Do he eat and drink normally? How do he act? Wish ur roo and you good luck and health :D

Probably it's not. I'm not an expert either . Do he eat and drink normally? How do he act? Is he getting any remedy or something?

Yes we'v been giving home some home treatment iv managed to get him some amoxicillin and giving him some only just got them today... and some eye drops been doing online research and he looks much better than he was before .... I went down to feed him today as I wanted to see how he was doing... he definitely seemed much better!!!! So I will be keeping regular updates on him as she wants to keep him now :-) I already have the cockerel she gave back so cant be putting the 2 together in my coop

Glad he's doing better.
I still see some swelling of the sinuses and he still looks unwell.
You can try the Amoxicillin, most respiratory diseases do not respond to it. It's ineffective against Mycoplasma which has no cell wall. Infectious Coryza is treated with Sulfa antbiotics and the more common IB is a virus that has to run it's course. The Amoxicillin may help with other types of secondary bacterial infections though so I hope it helps.

As wyorp said, his sinusses are still swollen and he isn't "full healthy", but that's great he's doing better. Good luck :jumpy
