    Floppy neck - advice needed Please!

    Marjory or Jeffrey!!

    Quote: Thanks for the pic. so do you think that your boy looks like my Orp? I reckon my orp's hackle feathers are rounded rather than pointed, or is it wishful thinking? I don't see the shinyness or the pointyness, I still think pullet. Oh goody!! Thank you!

    Marjory or Jeffrey!!
