Look on a website called happy chicks.  They sell something called Colloidal Silver and also Citracidel.  I have used both of these and they work wonders.  I also give my girls small pieces of cucumber soaked overnight in garlic granules, once a week.  This seems to keep them all free from snuffles.

Hi dave08 and a big welcome to the mad house!
If there is no unpleasant odour and the eye is presenting with a light frothy/ bubbly texture it may be something called "mycoplasma" which is an upper respiratory tract infection common to chickens. It would be a good idea to get this checked by a vet and they will probably prescribe an antibiotic called "Baytril" or "Tylan". Vey important to complete the course as mycoplasma can lead to secondary infections.
In the meantime garlic crushed in their water and adding apple cider vinegar regulary will act as a boost to their immune system as well as keeping mucus down.
Keep to a strict diet of pellets with mixed corn pm and avoid treats particualry bread until they are completely better. Hope this helps! :D
