What can cause temporary clouding of chickens eyes?

[Lolathechicken]

I currently have a sick chicken (I made a separate post about this). I just remembered another piece of information.

On the first day I noticed my chicken was unwell (July 1st).

I noticed that both of her eyes were cloudy. I caged her overnight and by morning her eyes had cleared up. Everything else, however, has been straight downhill.

Any idea what could have caused this? I'm putting this out there in case this clue might reveal what the heck is wrong with this lady.

I will post a video in the comments.

long periods of holding their eyes closed can cause clouding, and sickness can do it as well

It won't let me post the video. It says it is the wrong file type?

Here is a screenshot.

That looks like she is going blind, hopefully not

I will suggest that your bird has Mareks Disease on her optic nerves.

It looks like cataracts, which can be a common cause of blindness in chickens. They can be caused by high ammonia levels in the coop which burn the eyes, by infection, vitamin A or E deficiency, and having a disease called avian encephalomyelitis as a chick. Mareks eyes usually look much different than that in pictures I have seen.
