Why is my chicken's eye dry, watery, and has tiny bubbles?

Question

Hello, This is my golden buff chicken, as seen in the attachment below, ome of it's eye differs from the other. There is dryness around that eye (the one that is different) and there is excessive fluid present which does not flow outwards. We can see this by opening it's eye. It doesn't allow me to open it's eye which is not affected. Besides this the affected eye has tiny bubbles type structures around it. I will ne glad if anyone can help me!

The pictures attached are very small, so it is hard to tell what is going on, however judging by the color change and flaking there could be a few possibilities. Some parasites and mites can affected the skin and may cause irritation or flaking. Skin issues such as fungal growths, burns from the sun, chemicals, etc, or even bacterial infections may also cause flaking, irritation and discharge to appear in the affected area. Nutritional issues, or injuries from other birds may also cause wounds or irritation that could then become infected. Treating for any parasites, and keeping the area clean and free of debris may help, as well as applying a topical medication to treat any potential infection. You may also want to remove him from the flock for a few days to avoid other birds picking on it and making the area worse. If it doesn't improve, or worsens, having a vet take a look in person is best.
