One of my girls has a swollen looking eye. She acts fine otherwise, almost like nothing is wrong. What is it???

So it is just one of her eyes that's swollen? I answered a similar question a few days ago, here is the thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=7811467#p7811467

I hope it helps

Your hen looks like an older pullet or a mature hen. If there's no discharge it can be infectious laryngotrachetisis (common respiratory disease) influenza (rare), or Marek's disease (common). This is all according to my "Chicken Health Handbook" by Gail Damerow.

I'd isolate her so that if she has something contagious it is caught early and so that it doesn't spread to your other birds.

Good luck with treating your hen.

She may just have an irritation. My mom used to use a warm soaked chamomile tea bag as a compress.
If it were an illness, I personally look for 3 or more symptoms that point towards something. Not just one.
Poor baby!
