    It is called Wry neck. Look it up. I had a chick this year with it. I gave it water with the powder you give to chicks. Held it and dipped its beak into the water several times a day. Tried to give it vitamin E but chick would have nothing to do with it. After about a week it recovered. Good Luck.

    Opinions on roost size.

    I have a 2x4 laying flat for a roost. Every night I move them from piece of T111 which is about a half inch thick to the 2x4. Cant believe they wrap their big feet on such a tiny piece of wood. Cant be comfortable. Should I cut the 2x4 in half? Any opinions? Roost is even higher than the T111...

    Will exterior paint work on OSB to make it last longer?

    Do not use untreated lumber in the ground. Go out and look for used wood pallets for free. They arre out there.
