My family got these chicks about a month ago from a breeder and they should be about 2 months old by now. I need help finding the gender and breed for these two please! Please let me know if more pics are needed.

I heard that if a hen has coryza, a foul odor will be present near its head. Do you smell anything? I’m not a expert so I’ll get someone over now. @dawg53
Update:Oyster shell came in today. Giving a bit to her now. She is much better, barely sat few times today and spent lots of time preening and running around.
Update-Hm, so it has been two days, her poop looks more “normal” now but I seems to have a bit of egg white with it? I’m countinuing giving her calcium. She has perked up more and now calls me more often and eats much more. She also walks around more often.
Hen had a soft shell egg that she pooped out this morning. Normally, after expelling by the soft shell, she would be acting a little sleepy but would get perkier over time. This time, she is still quiet though usually after this long she would be must more active.
The hen still eats and responds...
Hello Kim, welcome to BYC. If your chick is hurt or sick, please post a thread under “Emergencies, diseases, injuries, and cures”. Follow the link @the_peanut_coop gave you, hope your chick will be better soon!
Found this in the chick house today. Looks like blood to me. They don’t have a gallon of water to drink form I I was wondering if anyone could give me the dosage per pint. Thanks to anyone who helps out.

@Thechickenaddict don’t worry too much, like the others said, there’s a chance this may heal up on its own. I agree with @Jen1989, using a natural remedy may help her. This site does claim that certain herbs can help boost the immune system...
My girl occasionally has lining but I would be concerned if she had it every day. I am no expert on cocci but I believe you should treat her. Though she is showing no signs, she may be hiding symptoms so that she appears healthy to the other hens. I believe that the treatment for cocci is Corid...
Does it depend on the chicken? I see some lining shed every month and wonder how often a chicken sheds lining. I assume it’s not everyday since that could be a sign of an illness so my guess is maybe once a month or maybe once a week?
