Rooster with bubbles in his eyes, possible respiratory infection

[Cloverr39]

I didn't know hoe to explain it. My almost 12 month old silkie roo has had these bubbles in the corners of his eyes for a while, but it was always a very tiny amount. Today I noticed it was more than usual. He also doesn't have it every day. I think his poop is a bit more watery as well. (At least this morning it was. Right after he woke up). Also I think he has a cold? I don't know, he's been making sniffling sort of sounds in his nose when he breathes sometimes. I actually think most of my chickens have stuffy noses. (I'm sorry I'm bad at explaining things and English isn't my first language). I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

Is there anything that I might have at home to help with this? I also don't have a lot of money right now, so any cheap ways to help my Floof? Or is this normal and some chickens just have bubbles in their eyes?

It is not normal for chickens to have bubbles in their eyes.
Chickens do not get colds like humans do.
Your flock has a respiratory infection. There are many different kinds like
Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) which causes CRD (Chronic Respiratory Disease). MG is caused by a bacteria, is very common in BYC and can be treated with Tylosin tartrate, a macrolide antibiotic.
What types of antibiotics do you have access to where you live?

Oh no! What could cause chickens to get a respiratory infection? Could it be the cold nights that we had a month ago? Is it something in the air? Is it contagious? I'll have chicks hatching by the end of the month, I don't want them to get it.

I don't know much about antibiotics. I'm a minor and I don't buy medicine, my mom or grandmother always does.

You need to get your mother and/or grandmother involved.
Wild birds can transmit disease into your flock.
Generally speaking, birds needs LOTS of fresh air and the cleanest, driest environment you can provide, with clean, dry mold free balanced food and clean water. Those are good preventive measures but it can still get into your flock.
The cold nights would have little to nothing to do with it as chickens don't "catch colds". You stated that all the birds in your flock are sneezing so it's already infected the flock.
Yes, the chicks can get sick from it if they are exposed.
