Sty?

It looks more like some kind of injury to me rather than a stye. If you lift the upper eyelid on the eye that was closed, can you see any pus under the eye lid? It will be white or creamy colored and firm. Not knowing for sure what the cause is, I would err on the side of caution and use some ointment in the eye(s) until it clears up. If it's got gunky discharge that's gluing the eye shut then I think it's needed. I would do that rather than take the chance it's infection or becomes infection and gets worse putting the eye at risk. If there is pus, then infection is already there. If there is pus, it needs to come out in order for the ointment to work to clear it up.

Look for any bubbles in the eye or nasal drainage with sneezing and lethargy for it being a respiratory disease. Peck wounds are very possible. Do you have mosquitoes around right now that could be spreading fowl pox? Fowl pox virus causes scabs usually on the comb, wattles, face, and sometimes other parts of the body. It lasts about a month, and no treatment is required. Some do use betadine to help dry up the scabs.

I would be vigilent about gently flushing the eye with saline eye wash, and using the antibiotic ointment in the eye. We can post some videos if you think there is pus in the one on her right side over the eye.

I figure I clean it every day and apply neosporine. Any other thing I can do?

I've never had a chicken with a stye. But bacteria from debris, or injury from pecking or getting something in the eye are common.
This article is on styes, which seem fairly uncommon:

They can have eye problems from respiratory infections also.

Read the article. Doesn't look like a style. Don't know what it is

You can use plain neosporin or Terramycin eye ointment (many tractor supply stores and feed stores carry it, no prescription required) a couple of times a day.

Is there something in your birds feathers? I can’t tell very well from this picture, it could just be beads of water or my imagination.
