The blackened tissue is either dried blood or necrotic tissue. The pus needs to be removed or bacteria will continue to grow and multiply under it. Your choices are cleaning the eye out yourself, have a vet do it, or euthanize the chicken.
The eye ball is securely fastened by ligaments and nerve fibers. You will not pop the eye out. Watch the video again. Exert pressure laterally and that will move the pus toward the edge of the eye so you can lift it out.
Infectious coryza is a form of upper respiratory disease caused by the bacterium Haemophilus paragallinarum.
