Puffy Watery Eyes?

A lady just contacted me on my blog and said that one of her chickens has come out of the house this morning with puffy, watery eyes, anyone know what causes this?

I've never come across it myself. Thanks

could be the sinuses under the eye infected if it just watery its not too serious. I had one of my cochin growers recently with a watery slightly bubbly eye. Took him to my vet and she thought it was just a little sinusitis and gave me some baytril. He fine now ( she is a vet specialising in poultry and shes fantastic!)
Infectious coryza is more serious with more gunky cheesy discharge around eyes causing them to swell and close and is quite nasty.

Thanks Foxy, I have got the cheesy discharge in my little info sheet, but not just watery and puffy.

You could be right Mumsy, perhaps they went down the pub last night???

Perhaps you could put "puffy watery eyes cause overdoing the henparty" on your fact sheet!

Bubbly eyes can be a mycoplasma infection which requires prolonged antibiotic treatment !
