Help! Ayam Roo is "sleepy" and liquid is coming from his beak and Silkie Hen is "tired" and doesn't really want to eat/open her beak

UPDATE: The silkie, Daisy has passed away… I am so distraught. I am in the car right now and when I checked on her, she was already stiff… dead. Thank you for your help 🙏🏽 I do believe it was a respiratory infection… but do you think that it could be passed to my cats or us humans?
 
This is the dewormer we used and a picture of the silkies eye. I opened her eye but I don't see any bubbles. But now she is breathing hard and doesn't want to move around too much.
I'm sorry to hear she died. :hugs

There's several respiratory diseases that poultry can have. A couple of the more common ones are Mycoplasma and Infectious Bronchitis.
The only way to really know what you were dealing with is to have necropsy/testing through your state lab. If you still have the body, then keep it cold and make arrangements to get it to the state lab. https://www.metzerfarms.com/poultry-labs.html
