First time chicken owner here. 2 out of 6 of my chickens have this sore/lump on their faces. Could this be from pecking or is it something contagious?

Apologies if I'm missing your meaning here, but are you talking about their nostrils? They can be more prominent on chickens with smaller combs, like the one in my profile picture.

Good luck with your flock!
 
I can’t see anything on the second photo but the thing in the first does not look healthy. My mom had a chicken with something similar and it didn’t end well. We think it was a tumor. I’m no expert so don’t assume that’s what is happening with yours. I will try to find the thread about it to compare

I think this is what OP is worried about:
