I Raise baby chickens.

Are you saying you don't understand why the chicks get pus in their eyes and nostrils?
Are the chicks dying?
Why are you using lye? I would think that would be an irritant to the babies' respiratory systems.
 
About 3 weeks in I get pussie eyes and build-up on their beak were their nostrils are and I now understand why.

Sometimes they do die. I use the lye when I clean out the boxes. I was told that it would take care of any Bacteria in the boxes or the ground, but I was having this problem before I started using the lye.
 
What is your brooder box made of?

When chicks are in the brooder box, where is it located?

What heat source, if any, do you provide?
