So I went look at this hen and I found that her eye was like this no clue what it is but she isn’t the only one I saw that my other rooster also has a swollen eye too and idk what it is

At first I'd think scaly face mites, but you're saying this is only in one eye in each of two chickens, correct?

If so, in that case it could be corzya and they'll most likely need antibiotics. Does it have an odor?

Do you have access to a vet who can test that?
 
This is the hen's left eye. Is it also the rooster's left eye that's affected, or is it his right eye? If it's his right eye, it would be easy to infer something contagious that has spread from one bird to the other.

The eye looks to have an infection. What is going on with the tissue under the eye. Is there a lance, injury or is it pus buildup?

Do you note any bad odors?

Where are you located in the world? Have you added new birds within the last 30days?

General care would be to flush the eyes with saline, remove the pus, then put an ointment in the eye like Terramycin or if you can't find that use Original Neosporin.

Work on hydration and see that the birds are eating.

If you note a bad odor, then likely it may be Infectious Coryza. A sulfa antibiotic may be needed in addition to cleaning the eye and applying the ointment 2X a day.
