Try getting a warm, wet Q-tip and gently wipe it over his eye. I've done this with my bearded dragon a few times and it works like a charm without causing any pain or damage.
As for the not feeding "bugs", is this just temporary as he can't see? Or all the time?
no problem and good luck :biggrin:
if you don't already have one a humid hide is a must to assist in shedding and avoid these kind of issues in the future.
do make sure though to switch over to feeder insects (crickets, dubia roaches etc.) asap if the chicken isn't just temporary
and as for the bump, it could be a number of things from substrate in his eye, to an infection, to a parasite, or just be from the skin. If the bump is still there a day or so after you manage to get the skin out, try drops of saline solution.

I would recommend getting a humid hide in there as soon as possible. It is critical to hydration and the shedding process.
You can use a cheap container lined with moistened paper towel for now. It could look something like this picture.
