Just an up-date

In picture 4, the floor is covered in poop. A build-up of poop can grow a fungus that will affect their eyes. Try cleaning it up & sprinkle Ammonium Sulphate down, & it will kill the fungus. I'm not sure if that's the problem, but it's a good possibility.
 
Do the birds themselves smell? Smell their faces.....if they smell really bad, it is Coryza. Coryza often shows up in swollen faces and severe upper respiratory symptoms. Even once treated, your flock will be carriers. Read the below link for more info. If you do want to treat and then close your flock, try LA200 injectible. I would give at least 1/2 to 1 full cc to each bird 1-2x a day.

I got all of the coop cleaned up, I used bleach and then after it dried I used ammonia. Thanks for the help.​

Thanks that was really helpful, yes their faces smell. I'm treating them as if they have Coryza. I had real good friend of mine take one to a vet he knows and thats what he came up with also, using Duramycin-10 it has tetracycline in it and it didn't break me to buy it $5.27 for a bag of it, and it's easy to us, just measure amount and add to water. I started them on it yesterday I'll up-date any changes.
