Yellow Diarrhea, Lethargic, Panting, and Pale & Shriveled Comb & Waddles

Yes, it looks like a cockerel next to that other chick. Also the larger red comb. But the saddle feathers seem too wide and rounded to me. I guess you will need to wait to hear the first crow or discover the first egg.

Keep up the cold compresses under the wings for a while longer. The feathers on a chicken will not make them overheated in hot weather. Their combs and legs and feet are how they get rid of excess body heat. Cooling the chicken under the wing pits is effective because that's where there is maximum blood flow and the cold compresses cool the blood as it circulates to the rest of the body. If you ever have a chicken that's suffering hypothermia, warm compresses will warm the body in the same manner.

Give this chick some sugar water right now. That will further revive.

I have a strong hunch that its heat sickness not a disease. It's just as serious and life threatening though if not treated as the emergency it is.

I can't thank you enough for all of your help. You're so kind to take the time to help me help my baby. I'll keep up the chicken care tips you've given me. Thank you, again. I really appreciate it so much.
