The discharge from the eye and nose sound like eye worms.

Get some vetrx.
Tip a q-tip in the vetrx and inside there mouth , on top push the q-tip up and you should see , the liquid push out the foam.

Get some advice first , But it really sounds like eye worms.
They make a foamy puss from eye and nose.

Keep them separated form others. for now for the fowl pox rub them down with lemon. Not really sure if it will help much
but thats what we use for a lot of things on our roosters and chicks, for cuts, mites, even colds.
Good luck. hope things go better for you.

wow, now that's something new for me. so how deep do i put the q-tip into the mouth. just under the nostrils, or past it?

Inside that little gap in the top of the root of the mouth, I cant remeber the word it is called,
But you get the bottle, it comes with the instruction in the package for that.

A few of my girls got Pox once. I quarantined them and treated the pox areas with iodine. It cleared up in a few weeks. No problems since.

Are the birds sneezing? Does the discharge smell? Do they seem lethargic?
Are you sure it's fowl pox and they aren't just getting their combs picked at?

he tells me that there is a bit sneezing at times. there is no smell, and they seem to be doing fine. eating is normal and activity is normal. as with the pox. it's a bunch of dry like spots over the body, mainly head.
