Confirm my heartbreak.
Rooster?
They’re about 17 weeks old - just got my first eggs this weekend from one of my- now I wake up and hear this on the camera this morning for the first time.

I have an approximately 16 week old hen that is growing a bit slower than my other 5 girls.
They’ve been pecking at her from time to time, I’ve sprayed her with no peck spray and an antibiotic spray to help as needed.
She was almost back to being fully feathered until this weekend I looked at my cameras while we were away and the other had a almost completely bare spot on her back — we separated her to a separate coop/run next to the big one and got her some medicine were mixing in her food but I’m worried I’m too late. She’s hardly moved since last night and is now laying almost sideways with her feet up and not picking up her head.
Is she too far gone or is there anything more I can do to try helping her?
I am looking to put sand down in my run for my chickens. I have 6 chickens currently in my backyard (in town) so they aren't able to free range - making me want to have an easier clean up for poop to keep the smell down.
Any recommendations on a good course sand to use for them? Contact our local landscaping place or buy online? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
SHE (assuming/hoping) is developing quite the Mohawk and feet are starting to get some dark coloring.
PLEASE also feel free to tell me if you believe she is a he… Google seems skeptical 🫤
