My chick started to have a watery eye from a peck I think then followed with a foamy eye. I apply neosporin to the eye. Then 4 days later she have her eye like this. Any suggestions what can it be and how to treat it? Its only one eye the other one is normal. She is eating and drinking fine.Thankyou chicken friends! Only one

It looks like dried eye drainage that has crusted. See if it comes off after holding a warm wet wash cloth over the eye. If you can get Terramycin eye ointment from a feed store that might help. If you are seeing any nasal drainage or sneezing, gasping, or other respiratory symptoms, she might have mycoplasma (MG.)

Eye foam can be from an eye injury as well as infection, so hopefully it will clear up soon. I have a feathered face hen who gets foam in her eyes on very cold days for no other reason.
If the eyelid swells or you see pus, get some Tylan 50 injectable, and give it orally 1 ml twice a day for 5 days. It would not hurt her to start that now, even if it is not MG.
