I agree, seeking vet care is your best course of action. The white chick, I don't believe I seen it like that even in photos.
You could try putting Iodine on that to see if it helps to dry it up so it can fall off, but it's looks to be embedded on the sides of the beak as well? Can you get a clearer photo?

I too am curious like @dawg53 if there are lesions inside the beak.

I'm just curious; is there a foul odor coming from the sores/scabs? Are there any sores or lesions inside her mouth?

on the white chick.
there is a huge foul odor coming from her sores/scabs, but there are no lesions Inside her mouth.

Here is an update on the black polish chick.

on the white chick.
there is a huge foul odor coming from her sores/scabs, but there are no lesions Inside her mouth.

Since there's a foul odor, I suspect she has sinus canker. It is contagious to other birds. Treatment is metronidazole 250mg orally once a day for 5-7 days. Normally for a grown bird the dosage would be twice a day vs once a day for your small bird.

Can you see a vet tomorrow? I have never seen pictures of pox that bad. In chicks it can always be worse, but that is a severe case. Can you try to make an opening just where the nostrils are, so they can breathe? I would rather someone who has treated pox in small chicks to advise you. What are you doing for them? Do you have betadine iodine to swab the pox scabs? That can help them dry up.

I apply neosporin on their scabs/sores at least once or twice a day. And I’ll goto the store and pick up some betadine and start using them on their scabs.

The metronidazole that @dawg53 has recommended can sometimes be found at Petco or Petsmart as API General cure which contains metronidazole and praziquantel. The packets contain 250 mg each.

Online you can find Fish Zole (metronidazole) 250 mg tablets here, and the first is in Florida:

unfortunately, the white chick didn’t make it. She died this morning, she was very skinnny, weak and fradgile. The black chick is still alive and she’s getting better. We buried the white chick in our backyard.
