Sparkles is on round 3 or 4 depending on if you count Dec/Jan. I'll go grab a pic. I keep missing all the cutest stuff.

posted in the emergency thread but I have a young black penedesenca hen about 3 months or so.
she was breathing heavy staying in the coop.
when I picked her up I noticed she was real thin and got a little clear discharge out of her mouth

Do you have any nutridrench you can give her? See any mites hiding on her? Is she breathing heavy or have swollen eyes? Discharge makes me think repertory.

I am sorry to hear about the sick pullet. I hope she makes it!

How was her crop? Was her butt poopy? Another possibility is a mold reaction as well as sour crop. Rinda had intestinal bacteria too.

looks normal besides being thin. The crop did not seem abnormal. I am giving her scrambled eggs with olive oil just in case

This chick is something like 10 weeks old now(I think that's right...It was hatched on April 26th or 27th)...It's a Silver Laced Polish. Is it old enough to be able to tell the gender yet? What do you guys think, male or female?

Well, there is no wattle development, but that is a very boyish crest (pointy feathers and starting to fall off to the sides). Girls are very rounded, like a puff ball.

So its most likely a boy then? At what age will I be able to know for sure?

You will will know for sure when there is either an egg or a crow!

Enjoy Him or Her!

Nutridrench I might have gotten at tractor supply. Do you have poly via Sol vitimans and molassas? It is similar to nutri. It is just a pick me up if essentials are missing and gives her energy to fight.

I don't know anything about discharge from mouth. I have had nose discharge ( that is tylan and seperate them anything that is resp travels fast.) Mouth discharge is usually croup stuff.
