Runny nose, gaping and wheezing sound.

Chicks are from one month to two months including two polish, two bantams, two buffs, two silkies. My bantams are alright. Both my polish are wheezing? With a little runny nose. My buff and silkie are smaller, the buffs have a runny nose and they gape when I hold them. The silkies don't gape but when I hold them, they start gaping and clear fluid is running by their nose. They jerk their head to clear the phlegm in their nose? Is it something to worried about?

Just to add the chicks are otherwise healthy, eating and active.

And it's been a week? since I observed the first one behaving this way. Should I be concerned?

Sounds like an upper respiratory infection. Not sure on what to give but they will need antibiotics. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable came chime in.
